Anthony quickly explains why Daniel Gafford's contract makes it all the more likely he's eventually moved, then offers an update on the Lakers coaching staff.

Anthony breaks down the Daniel Gafford situation (and the different reports on it). Turn out, Dallas may have done the smart thing here and extended him while also maintaining flexibility this summer. From there, Anthony dives into some names listeners have been asking about and wraps with super comment questions from the live audience.

Minutes before going live for yesterday's stream, news broke that Daniel Gafford is going to sign an extension with the Dallas Mavericks. Initially, it seemed this would take him off the trade market. Then, because of the reported value of the extension, Gafford very quickly landed right back on the trade block. Anthony explains what was going on there, and wonders about some of the reporting on t...

Anthony got a fun question about the front office, which made him think long and hard about what kind of investment Guggenheim might eventually make into the organization, once they get a close, honest look at how Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka run things the next year or so.

Right after the Lakers sold, Anthony wrote down all the reasons why Lakers fans should be excited -- and why the other 29 owners aren't exactly thrilled.

What a crazy day. Anthony recaps all the events and their rippled effects, then kicks off the offseason officially getting going with some notes and reaction to the Lakers sale. He answers a couple questions to wrap things up.

In what might go down as one of the crazier days of this NBA season, a new champion was crowned, a star suffered a brutal injury and another was traded fairly unceremoniously. Anthony reacts to it all.

Anthony noticed a consistent trend in the skepticism he saw about Guggenheim buying the Lakers from Jeanie Buss. He addresses the hole in their argument. He then officially kicks off the offseason with a couple notes, then answers a few questions to start your work week.

The Dodgers were once a team mired in mediocrity (or worse). Their owners were quite literally stealing money from the team and were considered some of the least popular people in their sport. Things were BAD. Then, Guggenheim bought the team. Anthony and Eric Stephen talk about the transformation they've watched and whether Lakers fans can expect the same with their team.

Using Dodgers history, Anthony and Eric forecast how a transition of power might go down us Guggenheim now owns the Lakers.

The Lakers are often bogged down by the math they're constantly doing with organizational wins. Anthony and Eric discuss how the Dodgers have handled this under Guggenheim ownership and whether it might extend to the Lakers.

Anthony and Raj react to the blowout Pacers victory in game six and look ahead to game seven Sunday. From there, they dive into the Lakers sale and reports on Jeanie Buss' continued role with the Lakers moving forward. Anthony uses Dodgers history to predict how things will likely go for Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick.

The Pacers obliterated the Thunder Thursday night and Anthony and Raj are here to celebrate it, albeit for very different reasons.

Even given how Anthony has criticized Jeanie Buss' ownership over the years, he and Raj have felt pretty uncomfortable about the way many in the fan base have talked about her since the sale was first reported.

We know how Jeanie Buss would prefer to continue on after selling the Lakers, but that just isn't how Guggenheim tends to run their businesses. How will things go, then eventually look when those two approaches come to a head?

Anthony breaks down quite possibly the biggest development of the modern NBA era from every angle he possibly could, in the moments after the announcement.

Anthony recorded this episode mere minutes before the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers. There's still plenty of reason to listen to this, but it's a funny experience knowing what was coming.

Listeners were wondering why there has been so little noise about the Lakers' intentions heading into the draft and, aside from the sale, the explanations were pretty clear.

With player pricing starting to make the rounds, listeners are now curious what some of the Lakers' key player would be worth, starting with Rui Hachimura.

The Lakers know what it's like to negotiate from a position of desperation. Well, they're right back in that predicament as they try to find a center to play alongside Luka Doncic and LeBron James next season.

There has been plenty of talk of who we'd like to see the Lakers linked to and certainly a ton of space devoted to who the Lakers have interest in. What we haven't seen much of is discussion about who the Lakers should probably avoid and which tendencies they'll have to learn from. Anthony and Harrison do just that in a really fun episode that touches on just about every subject you're probably ho...

Anthony can confirm reports out there that the Lakers have shown an interest in Brook Lopez (though the extent to which that's mutual remains to be seen) and isn't exactly over the moon about the potential signing. The guys discuss this, as well as a couple other player archetypes they'd like to see the Lakers stay away from.

After watching these playoffs, Anthony and Harrison arrive at the conclusion that the Lakers can't hope to combat some of the elite teams' strengths and would be unwise to try. Instead, they need to find their own identity and match strengths for strengths.

We're soooooo close. At most, there are only two games left in the Finals and we've already gotten out first blockbuster trade, as the Memphis Grizzlies sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic. Anthony and Raj talk about game five, why people don't like the Thunder, the Desmond Bane trade and its impact on the Lakers and more.

Well, OKC is one win away from an NBA championship. The guys detail how this latest game went and where they think the series goes from here.
