    FULL: Aaron is back! West contender tiers, Lakers offseason tweaks; Steph-LeBron Warriors-Lakers

    You've asked. Anthony bugged Aaron a bunch about it. So it finally happened.

The guys put the west into contender tiers and figure out where the Lakers fit into that equation. Also covered: The Warriors wasting Steph, what the guys would've done different this summer and more.

    PART 3: Chris Mullin once gave Aaron the business

    PART 1: Really, NO clarity? At all?

    Anthony was hoping to learn more about the ownership/governorship situation this week. The board of governors meetings (and Adam Silver's speaking opportunity) came and went and... welp. But hey look on the bright side. At least we still have the Clippers to laugh at.

    PART 2: Kawhi trade goes through; Consolidation trade for Lakers?; Taj Gibson retires (story)

    Anthony explains why the Kawhi trade finally going through is good for the Lakers, gives his thoughts on the journalistic fallout from that fiasco and then puts together a consolidation trade he'd pull the trigger on to round out the roster with a buy-low candidate. Also in this episode is a quick story about Taj Gibson's camp that really impressed Anthony given the news of his retirement.

    PART 1: Lakers' FO additions, explained (to the extent we can)

    PART 2: ESPN's defense doesn't hold up; Mailbag/Q&A

    Don Van Natta Jr. tried to issue a statement on behalf of his, Baxter Holmes' and Ramona Shelburne's (and Sham Charania's) infamous reporting that didn't age well almost immediately.

    PART 1: Luka Doncic can win MVP; Here's how

    Anthony and Harrison introduce the concept of this episode, which takes a little while because of how out of the norm it is for Anthony to practice optimism. They kick things off with what the Lakers need from Luka Doncic.

  • September 9 · 23 min

    PART 3: What did we learn from this exercise?

    Anthony asks Harrison after a full episode of positivity and optimism whether he feels better about the team. Turns out, that helps! After talking about Mamu's fit, the guys discuss their findings and whether they felt like card-carrying homers at any point in this discussion.
