Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com podcast. Today's show is sponsored by

Better Help. I am still buzzing after that Lakers win over the Milwaukee box. Absolutely incredible

stuff so much so that we needed to do a bonus show. We have so many extra questions and comments

coming in from our post game show. I've got a couple of trade topics I need to get into as well. And let's face it, it is a good time to be a Lakers fan. And there haven't been enough of those over the last year and a half or so, maybe even more than that. But the Lakers getting the big win over the Milwaukee Bucks, one of the best teams in the NBA. That was the best game of the NBA season, period.

Win or lose?

That game was incredible.

You had all of the stars going off doing just amazing things.

And ultimately, when the dust settled, the Lakers got the big win.

So we've got a lot to talk about from that that we're going to break down.

Before I dive into everything, though, make sure you are subscribing to the Lakers Nation

Leave us on five-star rating and review. I love going in there reading the reviews on Apple Podcasts.

It's a great way to help out the show. It only takes you about 15 seconds or so

to drop a quick thought in the review box there and then click on those five stars. But let's

start off on the trade front because there's a rumor that I haven't fully addressed yet

that's been floating around. And that has to do with our old friends, DeMarrozin and Nikola Vucevich returning to Los Angeles, potentially via trade. Now this comes from Zach Lowe. And I want to preface this by saying sometimes it's important that we stop and we listen to what's actually said. Now, a lot of people have been talking about this room. We're talking about should the Lakers give up. Russell Westbrook and a couple of first round picks in order to get these guys.

I'll get to that in a moment. But Zach Lowe, when he talked about this rumor, he said that

what he had heard was that the Lakers internally had discussed this, had discussed potentially

trying to trade for Nikola Vucevich and Demarta Rosen with the Chicago Bulls.

That's it. Not that they had reached out to Chicago to see if there's interest there, not that,

not that they had presented a formal offer or anything like that, just that they had talked about

it internally. And my first thought was, well, of course they've talked about it internal.
