Lakers Lounge

Anthony goes live immediately following the Lakers' decision to waive Dalton Knecht. They'd trade for quite some time to find a trade but never pulled the trigger and now one of the more disappointing runs comes to an end.

The Lakers have held off the inevitable but finally arrived at the end of the road for them and Dalton Knecht. Anthony offers some context to that relationship and where it went awry.

A listener asked in the Q&A portion of the show how the misunderstanding of trade markets has put the Lakers were they currently find themselves. Anthony laughs about a game he and Harrison used to play, then discusses how wishcasting has hurt the Lakers. Anthony also explains the recent gap in shows.

Anthony and Mike Trudell talk Vikings, then some Lakers, then some Vikings again, but mostly Lakers.

Bill Simmons didn't sound exactly thrilled in his pod about the Lakers exceeding their over/under for wins this year so he asked a different question -- which has bounced around in Anthony's brain. So, Anthony asks Mike Trudell... what would he consider a successful Lakers season?

Anthony and Mike discuss the Lakers' approach to a position they knew they had to enlist a committee for. Also, Vikings talk. Yes. Vikings talk.

The Dodgers' season is on the brink. Anthony and Raj talk about the similarities to injury information between the two franchises and how no one actually benefits from this. From there, the guys talk about some of their top takeaways from preseason so far. They offer some grades on some players, then wrap with a Q&A with the live audience.

Anthony made the mistake of recording during the Dodgers game. This led to a(nother) rant about injury information/management as it may have ended the Dodgers' attempt at a three-peat. The guys segue from there to their impressions of training camp almost exactly one week from opening night.

Twitter jumped to conclusion about one of Anthony's tweets that has made him question humanity. He and Raj talk about what he actually meant. We know the Lakers are going to use Mamu at the five. Here's why Austin makes sense for those lineups.

Raj makes the case for the Wizards as a play-in team. Anthony outlines how deep the east is. A listener asks about Quentin Grimes' IQ, which leads to a fun conversation about his basketball IQ and the ideal role for him.
