Summary

Free agency is in full swing and while other teams have been very active, the Lakers have made just one signing in former King and Grizzlies wing Jake LaRavia to a two-year deal, but also have lost Dorian Finney-Smith to the Rockets. Pete and Darius break down the relative inaction from the team, discuss the DeAndre Ayton buyout that seemingly has the team in a holding pattern, what free agents are still out there for the Lakers to go after, and much more.  Support Pete here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lakerfilmroom Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/lakerfilmroom Pete’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LakerFilmRoom Pete’s Playback: https://www.playback.tv/lakerfilmroom For Feedback or Questions: [email protected] To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:38.6

That is really a compliment.

I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

0:47.8

You don't smile much out there.

0:50.4

I don't think you have to do things for money anymore.

0:52.9

1:13.1

but this is the best I can do, need another one from you, hoping to be better by the end of the week. D, we are recording
