About this episode

Pete and Darius discuss potential elite shooters for the Lakers and their impact on the team's roster and defense.

What if the Lakers targeted an elite shooter to slot next to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves? What would that roster build look like? Would they have enough defense to be a real contender? Pete and Darius answer these questions and more when they discuss two high-level shooting forwards as a different summer pathway the team could explore when trying to build a contender this offseason. .
