Lakers Lounge

Anthony welcomes Raj Chipalu and Daman Rangoola on to discuss the implications of Jesse and Joey Buss being fired, their statements afterward, some behind the scenes details and where the Lakers go from here.

Anthony lets Daman and Raj discuss their reactions as fan to Jesse and Joey Buss being fired by the Lakers.

Anthony, Daman and Raj discuss the implications and message sent by firing Jesse and Joey Buss the way they were.

Anthony asks Raj about the experience of watching LeBron's return to the Lakers. The guys talk about the vision for this team moving forward and whether it can get there.

Anthony explains how this came about, why Jesse and Joey Buss are out and where the Lakers go from here.

Anthony welcomes back his favorite beat reporter, Jovan Buha, back to talk about the start the Lakers are off to and where they think things go from here. In an eoffrt not to get too optimistic (for your own good), the guys discuss the choices ahead with the starters, some downstream rotation issues and plenty else. They also discuss LeBron's debut, Vando's future and trade rumors in general.

Anthony and Jovan discuss the Lakers' exciting start to the season and, in an effort not to get too excited and thus damn the team, dive into the direction JJ Redick took the starting group. This leads to a fun conversation about fit, process and ignoring wins and losses for the sake of the greater good.

The Lakers had their full offering of players the other night and the only player to catch an outright DNP-CD was Jarred Vanderbilt. Anthony and Jovan discuss what might be next for Vando both as a Laker and/or in the Lakers' attempts to move him.

Huh. Who'd have thunk it? Anthony and Harrison recap the game, everyone's approach to it and how the Lakers eventually snapped out of their early game funk. Also, Anthony details one of the weirder days he's ever had and, hilariously, the impact it's going to have on his coverage moving forward.

Anthony starts the show with a story we guarantee you won't see coming. Then, the guys laugh at the notion that LeBron would come in and make the Lakers worse.
