Appreciated the “touch grass” coverage of the Clippers scandal

“THE HOOK: Anthony and Pete Break Down the Clippers Scandal” is all the reasons I enjoy this show. Addresses the billionaire angle to the Clippers scandal in a down-to-earth way, but also owns that the league has dropped the Hayes investigation. Nice behind-the-scenes moments from both Anthony and Pete.
JJ reddick

Kushcorleone

You said something in one of the pods about how JJ silence is actually sort of funny considering he was on every airway and all over socials prior to getting the gig I’ve found myself all summer hoping to get SOMETHING from JJ but now as we near the end of the offseason and training camp starts soon …I’ve actually embraced that JJ has been M.I.A all summer. It makes me think back to that commercial he has where he’s being this mad scientist evil genius. I’m hoping that’s what he’s like doing actually (after some downtime with the family of course). Obviously they have Greg St Jean out there with Luka but to what degree do you think Greg and JJ are discussing some successful sets , plays , actions that Slovenia used with Luka to bring back to the Lakers ?
Jeanie Delay

qbreezy12

Hey Anthony, will Jeanie being kept in the role as governor for the foreseeable future delay or negatively impact the hoped Presti pursuit? Do you think Presti would be willing to join the Lakers after finally winning one in OKC? What would it take to bring him here?

Late July questions. The NFLPA started doing team report cards a couple of years ago grading teams on various categories from facilities, to training staff, and even ownership. If the NBA did this where do you think the Lakers would rank compared to the rest of the league? What would be their best and worst graded categories? Also, unhinged trade. Kawhi for LeBron straight up. Clippers complete their all geriatric team and the Lakers actually get Kawhi this time. Which fan base is more angry?
