Lakers Lounge

Anthony and Raj have noticed that the Lakes seem to be the only team approaching the offseason in the way they have been. Is it time to stop being overly cautious?

We find ourselves asking this question way more often than we'd like to be.

Anthony and Pete send you into the weekend with some thoughts on Rui Hachimura likely being the starter. They both disagree with the decision and explain why. Then, they discuss what would need to happen to make this work more sustainably than last year. They also discuss their offseason grades now with Marcus Smart not starting. Finally, they wrap with a preview of tonight's preseason opener.

Anthony and Pete outline why they both understand Rui Hachimura starting, but disagree with what is now considered the likeliest decision.

Anthony and Pete take the conversation a step beyond disagreeing with the decision to potentially start Rui Hachimura and discuss how it can work, because it can. Then, they outline their expectations for preseason, guys they're keeping an eye on and Anthony wraps with a question from the live audience about Austin Reaves.

The latest on the Lakers' injuries isn't ideal. They'll open the preseason shorthanded. Still, there's plenty to look for from these games. Anthony details what he'll be watching for, then wraps with questions from the live audience.

Anthony offers up the latest on the Lakers' annoyingly long injury list heading into their preseason opener. Then, he discusses why Maxi is worth hoping for. Finally, he explains what he'll be watching for through this preseason slate.

After wrapping up the conversation about what he'll be watching for in the Lakers' first preseason game, Anthony was asked about Ramona Shelburne's retelling of Clippers media day and how they handled Aspiration questions.

After running through the injuries that have kept some key players out of the first couple days of camp, Anthony reports on who he's hearing has the inside track on starting on opening night.

LeBron is still limited to individual workouts. Anthony explains the concerns about this for the team, but understands the long-term view of this decision. Anthony somehow missed a key detail about Smart yesterday, so he reacts to it today. Doesn't seem great. JJ Redick spoke about the guard rotation, so Anthony breaks down that as well, then wraps with questions from the live audience.
