FULL EPISODE: Anthony is brings back a show favorite, Jovan Buha. The guys discuss the vibes from camp (which have been good!), JJ Redick's concepts, team buy-in, and D'Angelo Russell. To wrap things up, Jovan gives the couple things he'll be looking for in the upcoming preseason games.

PART ONE: Anthony found a couple things the Lakers can rally around. First, Darvin Ham isn't there. Second, people have placed them near the bottom of the conference. He and Jovan discuss how these factors have led to an optimistic training camp.

PART TWO: Things have seemed mostly good to this point in training camp but we haven't heard from one player in particular: D'Angelo Russell. Jovan explains where things stand.

FULL EPISODE: Anthony and Raj react to the notions brought to the table by JJ Redick. Can he rely on a nine-man rotation? Will the Lakers defend better in transition because of the focus on offensive rebounding? Did Max Christie and Jalen Hood-Schifino impress?

PART ONE: JJ Redick said after day one that he wants a nine-man rotation. The guys are.... not quite sure how that'll work out.
