Lakers Lounge

PART TWO: Anthony and Jovan discuss the idea of internal growth from the Lakers and whether they'll remain in the hunt to an extent that convinces the front office to invest more draft capital.

Anthony breaks down the Lonzo Ball trade rumors and explains why the Lakers aren't likely to get involved until this offseason at the earliest.

FULL: Anthony opens with a few thoughts about Lonzo Ball and the trade market in general, then opens up an insanely packed mailbag to discuss every trade scenario under the moon.

PART TWO: Anthony continues with the mailbag questions, this time discussing why it looks like the Lakers are going to continue to wait before getting fully involved with the trade market.

Anthony recaps the win, starting by offering some insight into how the Lakers arrived back at Max Christie starting -- and how it was always what the coaching staff was hoping to see. He explains Max's impact on Austin Reaves, too. LeBron James came back and looked good. Oh and Anthony Davis absolutely dominated a big Memphis frontcourt.

FULL: Anthony and Raj recap a nice, fun win (outside of the existential crisis we experienced when Anthony Davis got hurt). Max Christie got the start and was fantastic on Ja Morant. LeBron James came back and looked spry. The rotation made a whole bunch of sense. What a night.

PART ONE: This is exactly what the Lakers were hoping the starting five would eventually look like. The guys explain why this works and the ripple effect it has across the rest of the rotation.

PART TWO: Anthony and Raj continue to marvel at the defense the Lakers played tonight against a Memphis team that was on an absolute roll coming into the game. The guys take a question from the live audience, too, having to do with trade rumors starting to really swirl.

FULL: Anthony and Harrison discuss the trade rumors circling around LeBron James and the Lakers, and wonder how James feels about all of it, too. Seeing as he has a no-trade clause, that kind of matters. While they were there, they also wondered about the Anthony Davis part of all this. (NOTE: This was recorded Wednesday and should've run Thursday, but we ran into some technical difficulties)

PART ONE: After a quick discussion about how nerdy they both are, Anthony and Harrison discuss a part of all the trade rumors no one seemed to spend much time thinking about: Whether LeBron James would actually want to be traded. (NOTE: This was recorded Wednesday and should've run Thursday, but we ran into some technical difficulties)

PART TWO: Let's just say LeBron James gets traded, what would that mean for Anthony Davis? Should he get moved ASAP? Anthony and Harrison don't think it's that simple. (NOTE: This was recorded Wednesday and should've run Thursday, but we ran into some technical difficulties)

After outlining what his ideal plan for trade season would be, he offered up intel on how likely any of it is.

JJ Redick had updates for some key players after practice yesterday. Anthony explains who might be available when, based on what Redick told reporters.

Not much actual news to speak of so Anthony hopped on the trade machine and fixed the Lakers. Strap in, y'all. Let's get a little weird.

FULL: In part one of a two-part home-and-home, Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Locked on Lakers) stop by to talk about the first real slop drop of the season. They also touch on how difficult it is to accomplish basically anything in this new CBA and whether that's a good thing for the NBA.

PART ONE: Having already spent hours on the trade machine pulling out hairs with how complicated this CBA is, Anthony asks Brian and Andy Kamenetzky whether this new system is actually good for the NBA.

PART TWO: There are going to be plenty of targets on the trade market, but there will also be a ton of competition for them. Real-impact help is going to be expensive. Are the Lakers close enough to the rest of the league to pull the trigger?
