There are days when you're hungry for McDonald's. Then there are days when you're

Big Arch hungry for McDonald's. You'll get to know the difference. New Big Arch

for Big McDonald's hunger. Until 9th of September from 11 a.m., participating restaurants only

subject to availability. Welcome to Real GM Radio. I'm Wes Goldberg. Got a packed episode for you today. We're visiting

three teams in the Western Conference, speaking with three different reporters about what they learned

about the teams they cover at Media Day. We'll start with Anthony Irwin and the Lakers, then go to

Dane Moore to talk about the Carl Anthony Towns trade and the Timberwolves, then finish up with Brennan Clean to talk about the Sons under Mike Booneholzer.

Let's jump in.

Anthony Irwin is here.

He covers the Lakers for Lakers Daily.

He's the host of the Lakers Lounge.

We're talking about Lakers Media Day today.

We could start anywhere. LeBron James, Brony, Anthony Davis, JJ Reddick, DeAngel Russell made some headlines with his media session.

were in the locker room the issues with his coaching how unprepared he was and stuff like

that and some of the stuff that went on on the sideline normally players will come to their

coaches defense even for the sake of PR like anything you know You know, you'll get like, oh, that's cap, tweet,

or, oh, these reporters will say anything nowadays to get clicks. Nothing over the course of last year,

as I and others were reporting about that kind of relationship really eroding between

Am and the players.
