00:00How do you now look at this Lakers team you mentioned it you bet them on
00:05Sunday morning after this trade was actually the real deal a price of plus
00:12850 that prior to the weekend to win the West was 25 to 1 an NBA championship price
00:1740 to 1 before the Luka deal that is now cut in half and then some at 19 to 1 what will be considered a
00:26Successful second half and beyond for LeBron Luka in the Lakers this year. I
00:32love that question because
00:35Here's the reality of that question, right?
00:39What will determine a successful season will determine how honest people want to be? I?
00:45Like all of you ear to the ground. What are people saying? I've heard from countless places
00:52Well, the Lakers are making a move for the future here, huh, I mean good Lakers just told LeBron
00:57Hey, you don't even matter like Lakers are going nowhere this season. So that's what I've heard and then if the Lakers
01:05Get eliminated in the conference finals the season will be a massive failure LeBron lost again
01:10MJ MJ MJ so it's about how honest people want to be to me. I
01:16Think I will be able to give you a much better answer once the trade deadline passes
01:20it is hard to
01:23Imagine the Lakers are going to be able to win a championship
01:27Without trading for a big man, but I fully expect them to trade for a big man
01:32I'm very curious if they are currently listening to Austin Reeves offers
01:37They never planned to trade Austin Reeves. They never planned to trade for Luka don't it's a franchise altering move
01:45You don't want to make any mistakes
01:47You don't you're not forced to trade right Ben and Joe Austin Reeves
01:51But it is on the board now that you could trade Austin Reeves if it helps you
01:58Round out this roster in a number of ways because this team could still use some additional perimeter guard specific defense
02:07Yeah, and that's really the thing so I mean if you were if you're Palenka and you're the Lakers
02:13Who do you want to add here who is the you got to get a big right of some sort
02:17So who would you pick up the phone and call?
02:20So I think Robert Williams should be able to be very easy to get out of Portland
02:25The problem is he is very injury prone, but Robert Williams in the 21 minutes again
02:30He could give the Lakers would probably lead basketball and net rating play next to Luka don't judge and LeBron James
02:36I think you're looking to try and grab some
02:40Defensive first options if you can I don't think Nikola Vucevic should be allowed anywhere near this basketball team
02:47I don't know what that could possibly do for them. Jakob hurdle makes sense. I am
02:53Not I mean who understands the cap these days
02:56I imagine bringing in Luka could take the miles Turner stuff off the table or it makes it more likely
03:02Miles Turner would be an excellent fit. I think you want yourself a defensive big if
03:07Possible clink Capella is another in Atlanta that I imagine could be had for a song
