| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.4 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Filmroom podcast, brought to by the Blue War Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And yesterday, at the end of the show, I had teased that we were going to talk about the defense, some of the things that we saw defensively in Summer League. And we're still going to get |
| 0:37.5 | to that. But I was realizing last night that we haven't talked about just general NBA free agency |
| 0:42.4 | around the league. And so that's what we're going to do today. There was less available money |

| 1:14.4 | And I mean that in the sense of, so Anthony Davis and Paul George, right, were the last two that sort of the clippers and the Lakers threw in three plus first and a couple of swaps and all of that. |
| 1:25.2 | But, you know, Anthony Davis at that time was you can make the argument for all NBA first team caliber, certainly all NBA second team caliber and same for Paul George. |
| 1:34.1 | I would have put 80 slightly ahead of that, especially because of age. |
| 1:37.2 | But at least somebody in George who's, you know, a two-way wing that I think everybody in the league wanted and certainly that player archetype. |
| 1:44.2 | And now you have teams because of how few players were A available because of the extensions |
| 1:49.9 | that are being signed and the way that the players are sort of pursuing these deals now, |
