Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com live podcast. A little fun Friday here,

2 o'clock Pacific time. We're going to kick off the weekend talking some Lakers basketball.

I'm Trevor Lane. If you guys want to find me on social media, you can find me at Trevor

underscore Lane over on X at Trevor Lane, NBA on Instagram, threads, Facebook, those other places that

are out there, as well as blue sky, which is still going strong and all of that. So a lot of stuff

to get into today. We need to talk a little bit about Luca watch. We're all, you know, waiting on pins

and needles because today is, yeah, August 1st.

Tomorrow will be the first day that Luca is eligible to sign a contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers.

I'll talk a little bit about that, what we could be seeing there if something gets done tomorrow.

Could it happen the next day? Could it be, it could be all the way up until the season starts. I mean, it could be a wait or it could just happen tomorrow. We'll talk a little bit about that. Everything sounding very positive on that front, of course. We've seen nothing but positive comments from Luca about being a Laker. The Lakers about Luca. I would be shocked if we don't wind up with an extension getting done. But we'll talk more about that. How the Lakers really stack up in the Western Conference. I want to take a look at things. You know, I was on my pal Allen Slewish, Slewish show. We were talking about it a little bit just yesterday, talked about a little bit on the front office show with Keith Smith as well today about for the

Lakers it's not so much what they've done this offseason I think they really have had a good

offseason it's been what other teams around them have done so how do they compare to those other

teams we'll talk a bit about that as well and then a little bit of news not major news but a bit, we got an update on the Lakers jerseys in terms of what their city edition is going to look like. I don't know. I get, I get too into this stuff. I do care about what the jerseys look like. So we'll talk a little bit about that as well. But I'm happy to have you all here. Those of you coming in from YouTube from from X, Facebook, wherever you're coming in from, happy to have you all here, spending the afternoon, getting ready for the weekend, talking a little Lakers basketball, kick things off here with Mamadu, with a super chat, said, hey, Treb, what do you think our floor is this season with the midseason train? Well, so that's going to put us directly into this conversation about where the

Lakers actually stack up in the Western Conference right now.

Floor with a mid-season, it all depends on what the trade is, right?

I mean, that's kind of hard to answer because it depends on what the trade is.

Let's flip that, though.

Let's do the floor without, without a trade.

What's their floor if they don't make a move if the team just is what it is?

If this is the Lakers team, what does that ultimately mean for L.A.?

So and Ron Gutterman and I made a rotation for the Lakers recently.

just the other day we went through and created a rotation. And this was here, I'll share it
