About this episode

The episode discusses the Lakers' offseason moves and player evaluations with guest Trevor Lane.

The Lakers may not be done making moves this offseason, and if they have their way, likely won't be. But for the time being, given how they're over the cap, any future new faces will have to be added via trade. Either way, they're *close* to finishing their offseason retooling. And make no mistake, this was one heck of a facelift. One could even say radical. Only two remaining starters (Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves). Only one holdover from the ROTATION (Jake LaRavia, who fell out of favor during the playoffs). Enter Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Collin Sexton, Ziaire Williams, Kevon Looney and the rookie Cameron Carr. Can't accuse Rob Pelinka of being afraid to make bold moves. But were they good ones? Andy breaks it down with special guest Trevoe Lane.
