    PART 3: Could Luka actually leave?

    PART 4: Anthony details his blood feud with Marc Stein (it's not a blood feud)

    Over the weekend, Anthony reported the Lakers had spoken to the Pistons about Isaiah Stewart and Bucks about Kel'el Ware to check on their prices in the event Giannis went to Miami. Marc Stein reported he hadn't heard that and the internet ran with that to conclude Anthony didn't know anything. So, Harrison and Anthony discuss the situation, how reporting works and the media literacy needed to navigate this rumor world.

    PART 1: Is Luka Doncic sending a message?

    Anthony reacts to the reporting about Luka Doncic wanting an "A-list" center on the heels of Doncic going on the record with the kind of player he prefers at that position. One quote in particular leads Anthony to believe this is Doncic (or his camp, at the very least) making it crystal clear what's on the line this summer.
