Anthony rejoins the show from his brother's sad bedroom and using his parents' shitty wifi. The result is thinly masked frustration over the Kuminga situation, an interesting rumor about Klay Thompson, Peyton Watson whispers and more.

Anthony checks back in from vacation to talk... Kuminga. See if you can sense his frustration.

The Lakers like themselves some Peyton Watson. Anthony has heard enough about their interest in him and that whole situation has gone so poorly in Denver that it's worth taking a closer look. Anthony does that, then answers a few questions from the live audience.

In the second entry of Anthony's player preview series, he breaks down Austin Reaves' increased expectations, whether he thinks he can meet them, and how he'll need to. Also, if Reaves doesn't, what might happen as soon as next summer.

Austin Reaves has been one of the NBA's best stories to this point. Now that he's signed this max contract, however, he goes from fun story to legit expectations. Anthony breaks that down, as well as the level of defense Reaves will have to play alongside Luka Doncic.

Anthony is fairly sure Austin and Luka can work long-term, but what if they do have too low a ceiling? The logical conclusion, looking at the Lakers' assets, is that the best way to tweak the roster next summer might have to start with trading Reaves. Anthony talks that, Reaves' defense, and how sees this season playing out.

Anthony kicks off his player preview series with Luka Doncic. Everything is riding on him, fair or not.

Anthony starts this preview by talking about what Luka Doncic needs to do for the Lakers to have any chance at title contention this season, and the bar is extremely high. Good news is Doncic is absolutely capable clearing that bar.

The Lakers have one of the most dynamic offensive forces in the sport in Luka Doncic. The tendency would be to hand him the keys on that side of the ball and still be really good. In order to be as overwhelming as they can be, a balance needs to be struck. Anthony talks about that, the stakes at play and how he actually sees Doncic's season playing out.

This show does everywhere. Anthony loves Luka's Lakers minicamp. He opens up about how he balances optimism and pessimism as a host. He discusses LeBron/AD's similar frustrations that Steph probably feels right now. Then, he dives into a particularly wandering Q&A with the live audience.
