Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today’s episode, Jason is joined by longtime Los Angeles Lakers reporter Jovan Buha. During the conversation, Buha discusses why the Lakers had such a relatively quiet NBA Trade Deadline, the likelihood that the team can acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer, which high-end role players could become available should the Lakers strike out for Giannis, why it appears inevitable that LeBron and the Lakers are headed for a divorce, the difficulties of building a championship-level roster around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, and much more!
