Lakers Lounge

Anthony asks Harrison whether the way LeBron is carrying out this decision could be used as proof to vindicate the Lakers' own decision to tell him to go away. He then explains why he doesn't think so, after Harrison gave his explanation on that point too. From there, the guys discuss the final few moves the Lakers are waiting to make, answer some questions, and hit the eject button before Harrison commits a cardinal sin.

LeBron has everyone waiting on a decision and it's holding up a bunch of business and now Anthony finds himself wondering if the Lakers are looking at this latest manufactured drama as proof they were right to move on from LeBron when he did. It's hard not to feel like that's their stance, so Anthony and Harrison discuss whether that's the right way to feel about things.

Anthony and Harrison put a bow on the LeBron-Lakers convo, then wonder how the Lakers might go about landing another big. From there, they wrap the episode with a quick little Q&A with the live audience

Anthony welcomes Brad Rowland (Locked on Hawks) back into The Lounge to discuss this whole big dumb standoff between the Lakers, Hawks and Jonathan Kuminga. Why are we here in the first place? What are Kuminga's options? What are the Hawks looking for from all this?

Jonathan Kuminga is certainly talented. He's not a bad dude. He can really help a team. So why is he staring at one of the darker timelines of any current free agent?
