Lakers Lounge

Anthony and Pete discuss the move from Tim Harris to Lon Rosen and the process that went into it. What might the fallout be from it? What should that fallout be?

Anthony and Pete turn their attentions to the basketball, as it is finally resuming tonight. The guys talk about what they'll be looking for from the team on both sides of the ball, as well as from a more macros standpoint. With a little extra time left at the end of the episode, they also discuss LeBron's future -- whether that be with the Lakers or on a different team.

Anthony reacts to the Lakers announcing Tim Harris in very short order after reports surfaced that Tim Harris would be stepping down after this season. He also explains who Lon Rosen is, which seems important too. He wraps with questions from the live audience, who seemed pretty hopeful this might lead to more change.

Lon Rosen was selected preeeeeeetty quickly. This would seem to give us a bit of a hint as to how things went down with Tim Harris. It's also fair to wonder whether this might lead to similar exits from Harris' soon to be former peers from within the organization.

Lakers fans have become pretty rabid in their desire to see a complete overhaul of Jeanie Buss' inner circle (and for good reason). So, with Lon Rosen already replacing one of the members of that inner circle, should we be connecting dots to the next moves? Maybe? Hopefully? Also, Anthony explains why Rob Pelinka is the made man he seems to be and answers other questions from the audience.
