    PART 1: Anthony's solution to Rich Paul's trade machine addiction

    The last time Anthony talked about this, his proposed solution may have been a tad extreme so he dials it back a bit to offer another solution. Harrison likes the plan. The guys talk about this situation and compare it to another player whose time with the Lakers was probably cut short by nonsense.

    PART 2: The Lakers provided themselves some lessons even in the win

    That third quarter served as a quick and brutal reminder of how quickly things can go to crap in today's NBA. Yes, the win was nice, but here's hoping the Lakers also paid some attention to the lesson too. Anthony discusses that, then answers a couple question from the live audience.

    FULL: Lakers lose to Kings; Time to sell? Rich Paul on Austin (again)

    PART 1: You mess with the basketball gods...

    The Lakers said Rui Hachimura was coming back. There was supposedly a plan. Then, he showed up for the game wearing jewelry to go with the warmups he had on, clearly with no plan to play in the game. Anthony takes issue with this and makes the case that the basketball gods agreed with him.

    PART 2: The Lakers either need to buy or sell; Sitting idle would be a waste

    Anthony once again makes the case for Rob Pelinka choosing a direction and sticking to it, only this time, he thinks the Lakers should be looking to turn some of their rotation into assets they can use moving forward. Fare thee well, Rui Hachimura.

    FULL: Rui is back, won't start... for now; MAILBAG!
