What do you think about the Laker team now?

You follow the box scores of the games every day?

Just the Lakers.

You're kidding.

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.

You don't smile much out there.

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

anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought you by the Blue Wire

Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And yesterday, we had a draft day. It was my

first in the building. That was an incredibly fun experience that my inner 13-year-old, I feel like I'm

getting the deluxe fan package with that and being in the building. So maybe we'll talk a little

more about that later. But we welcome a couple new Lakers. Lakers bought a pick. First of all,

let's start with that. About the 35th pick in the draft, traded a future second round pick

along with cash. First of all, that in the draft traded a future second round pick along with cash.

First of all, that, D, that's pretty good value. I'm surprised that we were able to get that

high into the draft with that type of trade capital. Like just from a like getting an asset for

very little perspective, that was like, hey, a nice little win right there. Yeah, I think the Lakers

did a very good job of identifying. Like, I'm sure they had several teams in mind. Orlando, I'm

sure was one of them, maybe Minnesota. There were several teams that had like a few second round

picks or two or more second round picks. It's like, okay, those are the teams that we're going to target, right? Especially a team like Orlando, Mike, that already had, did they have two first rounders already as well? I know that they picked number one overall, but I can't recall if they had the earlier second. So they had the two super early seconds. So I think that was that second, early second was a good target.

Yeah.
