Summary
Chris and Rob explain why it’s understandable that the Los Angeles Lakers might be at odds with LeBron James over whether they should trade for Kyrie Irving or pursue a ‘safer’ deal featuring Buddy Hield and Myles Turner, debate whether or not Rob Manfred made a mistake by inserting Albert Pujols into the MLB All-Star Game as something of a lifetime achievement award and argue about whether or not Clayton Kershaw should start in the All-Star Game since it’s being played at Dodger stadium, and tell us why Kevin Durant is wrong when he suggests that some people have a bias against him when it comes to basketball.

| 0:39.6 | was on their podcast for the Athletic with Sam Amic recently, |
| 0:43.5 | and he said there is a, not beef, but disagreement. |
| 0:49.1 | Let's put it that way. |
| 0:50.1 | Disagreement going on within the Lakers organization about Kyrie Irving. |
| 0:54.8 | LeBron, we all know, is pushing to get Kyrie. |
| 0:59.1 | And the brass, the brain trust, the front office, |
| 1:03.5 | Curtin Linder, Rambus, Rob Polinka, Phil Jackson, |
| 1:07.0 | now with a voice as a consultant or unofficial consultant, Jeannie Bus. |
| 1:12.4 | They are pushing back and they're looking more at a deal like a buddy healed and Miles Turner |
| 1:19.9 | from Indiana. And here's Buha speaking about it. You need to maximize your window for next |

| 2:03.9 | For what it's worth, and again, I'm pulling the curtain back a little bit. I looked into that. I couldn't make a ton of progress other than the Lakers owner was feeling melancholy about Kobe. And so, you know, but I think there's a slight divide right now where LeBron wants Kyrie and some people |
| 2:18.3 | internally might prefer a Miles Turner, Buddy Heel type deal. |
| 2:22.9 | Let me say this first and then you can get into the divide, Rob. |
