Hello Lakers nation. Welcome into the Lakers nation.

podcast. I am Trevor Lane. We've got a busy show today. I need to talk about a rumor

that Lakers haters are using to mock the Lakers like they needed more ammunition but they're completely

removing context from this rumor so I want to talk about that of why it's gotten to

absurd levels just to kind of point and laugh at the Lakers.

Also need to talk about Kyle Kuzba and his criticism

of Rob Polanca is a justified.

spoiler alert.

Yeah, it is.

I also need to talk about Jared Vanderbilt, what his situation is heading into training camp,

what that means for the Lakers, the rest of the roster, and I'm going to continue the series previewing each player on the roster

by talking about Dalton Connect.

Guy I'm really excited about. Can't wait to dive into his stats and his production

as well. So that's where we're headed. We are 25 days away from the Lakers actually being back on the floor counting down to the start of preseason. I'm looking forward to it. I know a lot of people are not. I've seen a lot of Lakers fans out there. I've been putting the countdown out there on X over on threads and a lot of people have been saying, oh, don't remind me, the Lakers have to play basketball again, such as the state of Lakers nation right now.

Laker fandom not exactly thrilled about what the team has done or shall we say not done this summer.

Understandable too. People have a right to be

upset with what we've seen from this front office this summer. Nonetheless I

can't wait to see the team back out on the floor and playing NBA basketball.

I think it's the return of the NFL that has got me even more fired up for the return of the

NBA. It's like we're almost okay we've got back now. We're just about to get the NBA back to you. I can't wait but let's get into this. So there's a rumor going around that

Teddy Osman was offered a spot with the Lakers in training camp and declined.

So this was the direct quote.
