    PART 1: Good lord Spurs-Thunder is incredible

    Anthony and Raj have loved this Spurs-Thunder series. Anthony can't believe how much he likes this Spurs team, though that might have more to do with how much he hates this Thunder squad.

    Anthony and Harrison's annoyance with Giannis' will-he, won't-he ask for a trade has come full circle because of the caliber of basketball the Lakers would have to play to compete with the likes of OKC and San Antonio. Anthony makes the case for trading for Giannis on several levels, including as a means to convince LeBron to take a little less.

    PART 1: Alright hear us out... What about Giannis?

    Anthony has watched these playoffs and walked away from them so far wondering how the Lakers can bring in the kind of upper tier talent that would bring them closer to the classes of the league. He can't believe he's making this case either, but what about Giannis?

    Anthony and Jovan look back on last season after he realized he never really has to this point. Was last year a success? Well, kind of. Mostly, sure, but only kind of.

    PART 1: Was last season a success for the Lakers?

    In most ways, the Lakers had a fairly successful season. They won more games. They advanced further in the playoffs. Key figures took tangible steps forward. And yet... there's this nagging voice in the back of Anthony's head telling him it was solid, but...
