Great show!

Resign Bron
Trade Dlo, Rui and Gabe for Dejounte and Mikal Bridges
Get Ty Lue and Rondo on the staff
Build out the rest of the roster with guys 6’5 and above
Get another center or two
Fire the Medical staff and get a new one

Also put Jokic in more pickle rolls

Great podcast

I’ve been following your podcasts since 2020 and I love your podcasts. I think it’s awesome how honest you are and share your emotions through your words well. The sarcastic Harrison, raj, and Aaron are all have different takes and I think it’s great getting different perspectives. Keep it going

Hi Anthony,

I am glad that your passion has turned into a career that you are able to support your family.

I really appreciate that you are now giving us the options to listen to the podcast in full or in parts. Is it possible to denote in the title which episodes are a breakdown of a larger pod? As much as I love your unique style/personality, I do prefer only listening once to the long form podcast.

Also, what restrictions do you face as a Laker’s Insider? Is it similar to the restrictions on what can be said that Pete/Mike Trudell face on the Lakers Film Room podcast?
