Before addressing the multitude of hole this roster has now and will have more of this summer, the Lakers have to set some type of culture, where expectations are set and, ideally met. Where accountability is finally something more than empty catch phrases. Where leadership has a vision and carries it ou-... you get the gist of it. Can this be built?

Mere hours after recording one of his angriest pods of the year, Anthony is joined by Harrison to discuss the direction of the team for the rest of this season and to gauge their faith in this front office as it will eventually embark on the latest most critical offseason in recent Lakers history.

The Lakers are kinda/sorta known for letting games get out of hand. After the front office has indicated it doesn't believe in this group and keeps talking about what it's going to do with all the cap space it'll get by having so many of these players leave, the question does need to be asked: Are we heading towards a late-season collapse?

The Lakers as an organization haven't valued centers outside of Anthony Davis. Since Luka Doncic arrived, he's been asked to turn below average-centers into good ones, but Anthony thinks the Lakers need to give him a good center he can make elite.

Under Rob Pelinka, the Lakers have typically built rosters that force stars to be great so as to turn role players into much better versions of themselves. Anthony thinks that approach has led to imbalanced players and is responsible for the complete lack of two-way impact guys.

A listener asked about player-centric vs. team fandom, which led to Anthony explaining why he covers the Lakers the way he does. No player is bigger than the team.

The Celtics beat the crap out of the Lakers because they're committed to a basketball culture, whereas the Lakers are still wandering through the desert hoping another star fall in their lap.

Anthony explains his concerns on Austin against long, physical perimeter defenders when referees swallow their whistle. Given the decision the Lakers have on him this summer, these games are tough to look past. Still, not all of it is even within Austin's control, and that's where Anthony is most nervous. He discusses that, then finishes with some questions from the live audience.

Lon Rosen was selected preeeeeeetty quickly. This would seem to give us a bit of a hint as to how things went down with Tim Harris. It's also fair to wonder whether this might lead to similar exits from Harris' soon to be former peers from within the organization.

Lakers fans have become pretty rabid in their desire to see a complete overhaul of Jeanie Buss' inner circle (and for good reason).
