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 third and final part of our three-part trade deadline preview. You're listening to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete. This is Darius. And in part one, we talked Lakers' big picture strategy. Should they trade the picks? I will circle back to a lot of

Dee, with a couple updates to the list. I spent, it's funny, I found a picture. I sent it to you

of the middle school championship that my squad won back in 1994, a very youthful looking

version of me with the trophy. And I spent all of yesterday and most of this week

in the trade machine. And I was looking at that photo yesterday. And if I could go back and give

that guy a high five, be like, dude, you were working out Laker trades and making lists just

like you did back in the day, man. And so let's start that conversation, Dee, about a couple of updates to the

list. One bit of interesting information, starting with Cam Johnson. Cam Johnson apparently has

four or four and a half million of unlikely incentives in his contract that do not show up,
