Lakers Lounge

Anthony gives his thoughts on that historic comeback from the Knicks over the Spurs and the role Victor Wembanyama's offensive limits played in San Antonio's late struggles. From there, he discusses a rumor circulating in The Bay that apparently, LeBron James is curious about playing on the Warriors. He wraps with a lengthy Q&A/mailbag session.

Anthony saw all the blame (rightfully) heaped on De'Aaron Fox but also found himself wondering why more of the conversation wasn't about Victor Wembanyama's limitations placing a ceiling over the Spurs. He then discusses a report out of The Bay that alleges LeBron James having curiosity about playing on the Warriors next year.

Anthony was asked by someone on Twitter what his ideal offseason would look like and what kind of team he'd prefer to watch next year. He allows himself to drift away to dreamland to answer the question.

Anthony welcomes Trevor Lane back into The Lounge to talk about a hypothetical most fans would really prefer not to imagine exists... What if the Lakers run it back?

Anthony and Trevor run through at particularly annoying hypothetical and explain why it would be so annoying.

Anthony asks the million-dollar question to Trevor: The Lakers have A TON riding on this summer. How confident are you that it will go as they're hoping it will?

Anthony and Harrison discuss Austin Reaves' season, the consistent progress he's made as a pro and the impossible decision the Lakers have ahead of them this summer.

Whatever number the Lakers re-sign Austin Reaves to is going to tell us a lot about the kind of roster Luka Doncic is going to have for at least the next year or so. Anthony and Harrison debate whether this is the biggest decision the Lakers have facing them this offseason, then look back on the season Reaves just had.

Listeners keep commenting as if those of us who cover the team aren't aware of Austin (and Luka's) weaknesses, especially defensively. The guys discuss those concerns and what needs to be done to supplement them. And if it does become clear the ceiling on this roster is too low, what can be done to maintain flexibility after Austin's big raise this summer.

Raj stops by for the first time in a little while and, as per usual, the guys wander around in a really fun convo.
