About this episode
Pete and Darius discuss the Lakers' pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga and the evolving team building strategy in light of recent player movements.
Pete and Darius dive into the latest round of reporting on the Lakers pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga, forecasting the short and long-term ramifications of him potentially signing as a free agent for the minimum vs. the Lakers executing a sign and trade for him. And then later, with Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan both finding new homes, the guys discuss the shift in team building philosophy from Rob Pelinka seeking out older former stars to targeting younger players who aren’t as well known. .
