    FULL: Lakers interested in Thybulle; Late-offseason plans; Q&A

    Anthony dives into Matisse Thybulle with Marc Stein reporting the Lakers are interested in him. Between yesterday's episode and now this interest, we have a pretty clear understanding of what the Lakers are attempting to do to round out their offseason, so he offers up that plan. He examines their hypothetical depth chart, then wraps with a Q&A with the live audience.

    PART 3: No fans *want* to hate the Lakers' offseason

    Anthony has noticed a trend in some of his interactions, where the sense is he and everyone covering the team would criticize anything the Lakers do. He pushes back on that and explains where his concerns come from. He just doesn't see eye-to-eye with how Rob Pelinka views basketball as a sport. Still, even while he and others who cover the team may not love everything the Lakers have done, no one is rooting for them to fail, locally.

    PART 1: Was Rob Pelinka's grand plan a good one?

    Anthony and Andy pick up on their conversation (part 1 was on Locked On Lakers) about Rob Pelinka executing a plan he devised years ago. The guys agree this is clearly lined up with Pelinka's basketball vision. They agree this is definitely a plan carried out. What Anthony can't decide is whether he agrees with some key points of the plan.

    FULL: Kawhi trade on hold; Derek Fisher on LeBron; Q&A

    The league has stepped in and pressed the pause button on a trade that would send Kawhi Leonard back north of the border. Anthony gives his thoughts on that and all this decision's ramifications across the league. Derek Fisher gave an answer about LeBron's time in L.A. coming to a close that went viral, so Anthony hits on that, then wraps up with a little Q&A with the live audience.
