Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome to the Lakersnation.com podcast. I'm Trevor Lane.

You can find me on Twitter at Trevor underscore Lane over at Instagram at Trevor Lane, NBA.

Not a great last, what, 24 hours or so now as we're recording this for the Lakers, losing to the Pelicans.

And then missing out on a Kyrie Irving trade and we'll start

with the latter there.

Kyrie Irving traded to the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie.

You've also got, well, you've got a first round pick, some second round picks thrown in there,

Dorian Finney Smith as well, which is a solid trade package.

It's not saying that it's not.

But the Lakers may have had a better offer, actually.

Was there something else at play for why the Nets did not want to take an offer from the Lakers?

And we'll get into the Nets demands from the Lakers, plus a bunch of questions from fans.

Lots to talk about on today's show. Joining me is Matt the optimist Peralta, optimism prime himself. Matt, how are you doing? I am doing pretty well, Trevor. Unlike a lot of the internet that's still mad about the Kyrie trade. I'm also not too upset about the album of the year stuff that's going on with the Grammys right now. I'm not sure if you're aware, but the internet is, the internet's a blaze right now

that Beyonce was snubbed for album of the year. So just FYI for anyone listen out there. This is when

we're recording right after that happened. Ah, okay. All righty then.

I'm not a Grammys person at all.

Did not know that that was happening.

So I've been just mired in the,

the Kyrie Irving fallout.

I think everyone has.

You're a basketball fan.

Yeah.
