Podcast appearances and mentions of Rob Pelinka

A listener took note of how active Rob Pelinka was this summer and wondered whether it's fair to now wonder where that was with LeBron James and Anthony Davis while they were Lakers. Anthony thinks the lesson there is pretty obvious, then wraps with a few more questions from the live audience.

Anthony reacts to the Lu Dort trade, which sends him east to the Hawks -- and the impact that move has on the west. He also explains how this move hammers home a concern he had with the Lakers' intentions going into this summer. He wraps with a Q&A after discussing this trade's impact on Jonathan Kuminga.

Anthony has noticed a trend in some of his interactions, where the sense is he and everyone covering the team would criticize anything the Lakers do. He pushes back on that and explains where his concerns come from. He just doesn't see eye-to-eye with how Rob Pelinka views basketball as a sport. Still, even while he and others who cover the team may not love everything the Lakers have done, no one is rooting for them to fail, locally.

Anthony and Andy pick up on their conversation (part 1 was on Locked On Lakers) about Rob Pelinka executing a plan he devised years ago. The guys agree this is clearly lined up with Pelinka's basketball vision. They agree this is definitely a plan carried out. What Anthony can't decide is whether he agrees with some key points of the plan.

Anthony and Andy hold the second part of their home-and-home conversation (part 1 is on the Locked on Lakers feed). In part one, the guys had discussed Rob Pelinka finally committing to his own basketball ideologies. In this part, they discuss the ways they agree or disagree with that basketball vision.

We're back with the Lakers Fast Break as the guys gather around to discuss the Lakers' offseason. Tune in as they go over the strong impressions of Summer League in Las Vegas for the team with Cameron Carr, Adou Thiero, and a surprising Arthur Kaluma. They also look at the roster construction this offseason and what holes still need to be filled by Rob Pelinka. Plus, they touch on the NBA and the exciting rookie class performing well in Summer League.

Ken and Anthony debate a fan poll asking who would run a better Browns front office, with Ken surprised his lead is only 59 percent given his football knowledge, while Anthony argues his own weakness is being too emotionally attached to players and teams to make cold, cutthroat decisions. They point to rising trends of media and agent backgrounds infiltrating NBA and NFL front offices, citing Bob Myers, Rob Pelinka, and Leon Rose as examples of relationship-driven executives succeeding. Ken says he would struggle to cut a player he personally liked, while Anthony jokes he would thrive as a college football general manager because he values relationships and people over pure scheme knowledge. They close by noting most star athletes, unlike John Lynch, don't have the curiosity needed to translate playing careers into front office success.

The age-old cliche is that good offense beats good defense. Anthony pushes back just a bit, but that becomes another aspect of his and Pete debate about the roster makeup and the direction Rob Pelinka, JJ Redick and Luka Doncic clearly see the sport.

Right before the guys went live, we got some breaking news. Deandre Ayton is the center Anthony Davis has been asking Rob Pelinka for, for years.

Anthony and Pete break down the Ayton trade, then dive into a conversation about the offseason so far. Anthony offers his foundational issues with how Rob Pelinka sees the sport, and he and Pete discuss whether the way Pelinka seems to see things can lead to a championship. The conversation wanders around a bit, then the guys wrap with a Q&A session with the live audience.

Rob Pelinka went on a spending spree on Wednesday, and in a span covering roughly half an hour, signed up free agents Quentin Grimes, Collin Sexton, and Sandro Mamukelashvili. On top of it all, the Lakers traded for Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030. Kessler has agreed to a four-year, $130 million deal. Mamu has agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal. Quentin Grimes has agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract, and Sexton a two-year, $19 million deal. So the question now gets asked: Where does this leave the Lakers in the Western Conference? Tune in as the guys from the LFB give their early returns on the activity and what this might say about the future of Rob Pelinka. Rob took Mark Walter's credit card and went to the free agent mall on Wednesday. Will it ultimately pay off?

Both Anthony and Harrison wish they liked this Lakers offseason a lot more than they do. They explain their trepidation and why this all feels very desperate from Rob Pelinka.

Fans are past the point of restlessness and they're wondering at what point Rob Pelinka would feel the heat. One listener did push back somewhat, giving Pelinka's credentials, which led to an analogy that gave him a super awkward realization.

Lakers fans should root on Luka Doncic and his camp as they apply pressure to Rob Pelinka and his front office to build the roster he said he would this summer.

Rob Pelinka's job might be riding on his ability to add the caliber and type of center Luka Doncic is asking for. Anthony explains that situation and why we stand to benefit from it.

Absolutely packed episode to send us into a critical Father's Day weekend. The guys discuss how they feel about recent reporting around Luka Doncic's demands, Isaiah Stewart being made available, which A-list centers fit Luka's standard and their confidence Rob Pelinka can pull off everything he needs to this summer.

Anthony asks the million-dollar question to Trevor: The Lakers have A TON riding on this summer. How confident are you that it will go as they're hoping it will?

If so, should we be thanking the Rams for trading for Myles Garrett?

Anthony got a tip while he was on the air right towards the end of the episode. Before that, he expanded on what Rob Pelinka has riding on this summer (with a Star Wars analogy).

Anthony dives into a particularly full mailbag slate, with listeners curious about how ownership might feel about Rob Pelinka's efforts to fill out the front office, late draft picks vs. UDFAs, the impact LeBron leaving would have on the Lakers and Bronny, and more.

Anthony and Harrison continue their conversation about the Lakers' efforts to become more like the Dodgers and the speed bumps they've run into, as people around the league aren't sure who will be in charge for how long. They also touch on the Knicks run through the east and, more importantly for Lakers fans, the Cavs falling squarely on their face. LeBron can't possibly look at that and think Cleveland is a better spot to end his career than Los Angeles.

Anthony welcomed Yaron Weitzman back into The Lounge, this time to talk about his latest piece, which detailed Dodgers management helping modernize the Lakers. From the sound of things, the process isn't going as smoothly as some might hope, so the guys discuss why not and what it might mean for those involved.

Kap is back! The guys start the show off reacting to last night's Spurs-Thunder Western Conference Finals Game 1… Sedano was part of the ESPN Radio broadcast and says it's one of the best playoff games he's ever seen! These two teams are young and good - they're not going away! How can the Lakers build a team to compete with OKC and San Antonio - without losing and building through the draft? Rob Pelinka said the Lakers have a commitment to excellence - but is it possible to stay good - and get better? How much of OKC's team success is due to great scouting and a great front office - vs. luck and other teams' miscalculations? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The guys kicked off the hour with birthdays for Darius Rucker and Dennis Rodman - with a funny story about Sedano's viral moment with him. They pivot to the big story: Dave McMenamin's ESPN piece on LeBron feeling disrespected by the Lakers organization. Kap honed in on the key anecdote from Dave's piece - the night LeBron broke the all-time wins record, Rob Pelinka gave the game ball to JJ Redick for his 100th coaching win instead, leaving LeBron feeling taken for granted. Brian Windhorst joins the guys live and said both sides are waiting for the other to move first - the Lakers want LeBron to come back on a team-friendly deal, LeBron wants to hear a real offer that shows they actually want him, and right now nobody's blinking. Windy tries to dissect exactly what a realistic LeBron contract even looks like and whether the Lakers can afford to keep all three guys. Learn more about your ad choices.

The crew kicked off Windy Wednesday with Kap and Morales recapping their night at Dodger Stadium, starting with the real story: Kap's poop turned blue from the food-colored tortillas at the Lowe's Level taqueria. The blue toilet talk gave way to a bigger Dodger frustration - Max Muncie didn't challenge a borderline called strike three with the bases loaded in a high-leverage spot, and both guys couldn't let it go. They talked about the Dodgers game more broadly: Yamamoto gave up 3 homers, the offense was flat, and Ohtani hit one out - but only after Kap brought back his Ohtani Trump impression on air the day before. Sedano played a clip from Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick's press conference - specifically the part about having "3 QBs" in LeBron, Luka, and Austin Reaves - and broke down how that trio finally started clicking in March once LeBron sat out and figured out his role by watching.

The Lakers have some decisions to make this summer, but now find themselves with one over the weekend. Rob Pelinka made the decision (laudably) to waive Kobe Bufkin and now has enough money to fill that roster spot. Anthony and Pete know who they'd like to see get the call, but also take time to discuss some other options. Anthony has been intrigued by how far apart he and Pete are on the subject of LeBron's future, so the guys hash out how they think this is going to play out and how they'd like to see it play out.

We often think of opportunity cost in the sense of trading a first round pick that the Lakers couldn't use this summer.

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?
