Monday night edition of the pod a lot of news that has piled up here

We're gonna get to that and then something that Danny suggested doing that we didn't have time for last week

It's talk about which players are the most money on the line this season in terms of just how the variability of their

Performance is gonna affect how much they get it. I think you could look at that

Almost as the free agents yet maybe have the most uncertainty in their performance although of course the market

Will and what position they play will help determine that as well

But let's get started with some news. Where did you like to begin?

I think we have to begin in LA and there are a couple of of elements here

They're on the court and off the court stuff

I think we'll start briefly with the off the court elements

There is a series of reporting on I believe that was Friday about a meeting that occurred between Luke Walton and magic Johnson and

Magic expressing frustration that the Lakers didn't run more of an offensive system

Some of you probably read I went on a pretty sizable Twitter rant about it at the time and the basic Genesis if it was when you have

Lebron James Lebron is the system

So I actually agree with part of it that the Lakers to me in terms of if if your goal is running a system

The Lakers don't necessarily do a ton of that

But that's because Lebron James is the system and you the what works around him is very different than works around other players

And that's what actually really concerned me about this was that we have a pretty sizable sample now of the teams trying different things around Lebron James

He has changed teams now three times and certain things work certain things don't and when you look at who the Lakers brought in

After Lebron it reminded me of the same thing that basically what they

Invision the guys they brought in didn't seem like Lebron James players now that might not be magic and play because fault

We don't know that because it could be Lebron said I want to play with these guys KCP seems like the most likely with that considering the clutch thing
