After years of trying to find some way to record a regular pod together, Anthony and Pete finally have that opportunity and will be recording episodes of "The Hook" every other Friday or so. This is their first such episode and in it, they talk about the potential for a quieter summer than fans may expect, what that would mean and what's on the line in this first transaction window since the Luka trade -- plus any number of topics in-between.

Given how little the Lakers have to work with, Anthony is concerned the team will probably look pretty similar to what we saw this year. If so, and if the Lakers want to compete for a championship, then any improvement will need to come internally. Anthony asks Pete about this notion and... Pete isn't sold.

One thing that's become impossible to ignore is that, outside of keeping his job, it's pretty difficult to figure out what Rob Pelinka's top priorities are in building a team. The organization has lacked much of an identity and this is probably a reason why. Anthony and Pete discuss this and more.

Anthony and Raj break down what they just watched as the Nuggets extended their series to a game seven in OKC thanks to Julian Strawther stepping up. Identity matters in basketball, turns out. From there, they have THE DEFINITIVE AUSTIN REAVES CONVERSATION as so much attention has been paid to his trade market. They also hold THE DEFINITIVE CHRISTIAN KOLOKO CONVERSATION which doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.

The guys discuss everything they saw from Nuggets-Thunder game six and how frustrating it was to watch the Lakers wander away from their identity in their series against the Wolves. That can't happen again. They also discuss the differences between regular and postseason basketball and why Anthony was always skeptical of OKC.

Arguably the best case for not trading Austin is how much it would suck to trade him at maybe his lowest value following that disappointing playoff run. Raj makes that case, then Anthony plays devil's advocate. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Raj has a quite frankly weird amount of things to say about Christian Koloko and what he considers a wasted opportunity from the Lakers to grab the $100 bill they saw floating down the sidewalk (Anthony's analogy).

Well, the Celtics extended their series and now are applying a whole bunch of pressure on the Knicks to win Friday. Please, Knicks. Take care of business. Anthony then pivots to the Warriors' elimination at the hands of the Wolves and how the NBA playoffs have become a minefield of star injuries. He also takes a look at a relatively weak-looking Pacific Division heading into next season.

In kicking off this year's season review series, Anthony thought long and hard about the most important figure to the season and eventually landed on Anthony Davis. He explains that decision, reviews Davis' season and the Luka Doncic trade, then discusses why Davis' jersey will eventually hang in the rafters. He wraps up with some questions from the live audience, too.

In a season that felt like a few campaigns combined, Anthony Davis was most often the Lakers' best player and then became a key figure for the future of the franchise -- just in a very different way than he may have thought.

Anthony had a backed up mailbag that he was able to mostly empty out, with enough time to mock the Lottery Defenders and also those who don't seem to understand the whole reason the lottery odds were flattened in the first place. Let's talk centers, Austin's trade market and the notion of trading Austin for a center.

A listener compared Kobe's ability to impact the game when he wasn't scoring to what we saw from Luka these playoffs and it's honestly fair to wonder about it.

First, Anthony starts with a rant directed at the people he saw complaining about flattened lottery odds and how they seem to be missing the point. Then, listeners asked about trading Austin Reaves and then specifically about moving him for Walker Kessler and stuff and that got the wheels spinning in Anthony's head.

Anthony uses one of his ridiculous spur-of-the-moment analogies to explain why he thinks the Mavericks might be more open to trading with the Lakers again now that they have the top pick in this draft. He also reacts to the Giannis rumors and the basketball last night. Wildly packed show.
