Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome, and this is the Lakersnation.com live free agency show. We're going to talk about what the Lakers have done so far this off season. A number of moves, obviously, this team looks so different than what it looked like last year. We'll talk a little bit about the moves they made, the moves they didn't make. We'll talk about those three open roster spots. We'll also talk about that guy, Dennis Schrooter. What is going to happen with him? What's going on there?

0:00.8

Can the Lakers maybe still find a way? those three open roster spots. We'll also talk about that guy, Dennis Schrooter. What is going to happen with him?

0:22.4

What's going on there?

0:23.1

Can the Lakers maybe still find a way to sign and trade him somewhere? Joining me tonight, Ron Gutterman from Lakersnation.com. Ron, we're going to be taking everybody's questions and comments. I'm ready for this, man. I'm excited. yeah it's been a very crazy three days i guess a free agency two

0:40.2

and a half days and it feels like everything happens so fast and now we're just left talking about

0:46.1

what what's left for the lakers and uh and by the way guys the california classic is tipping up right

0:51.9

now so the lakers are playing the sacramento kings so if you see me looking over that way a little bit, that's because I'm kind of keeping an eye on in this game as well. Davian Mitchell is playing for the Sacramento Kings. Want to see how he's doing. And then of course, the Lakers, Austin Reeves, with really good, last out, I want to see what's going on there. Joel, I, I, I, I, gosh, I always, I am going to get that.

1:12.0

At some point, I'm not going to stumble over his name.

1:14.5

That's, that, that will be a thing. That's maybe going to be my goal for the season or something like that. And then, of course, Mack McClong as well, always fun to watch. but I've got one thing on my mind right now, Ron,

1:10.3

and it's my boy.

1:12.4

Sphemeichaeluk is now an unrestricted. I've got one thing on my mind right now, Ron, and it's my boy.

1:28.5

Svi-McKa-Luke is now an unrestricted free agent.

1:33.2

The Oklahoma City Thunder have rescinded their qualifying offer for him.

1:37.3

The Lakers have three open roster spots.

1:40.1

It's time.

1:41.4

I want to Svi back in purple and gold.

1:46.3

Yeah, and there's another former Laker out there who got basically let go by their team,

1:52.5

and that's Isaac Banga. He's an unrestricted free agent as well.

1:57.2

You know, if the Lakers, instead of getting veterans, if they want to go full youth, bring back some young guys with their last three roster spots, those are two good names to start at.

2:07.6

Hey, if the game plan is former Lakers, right, that was the first four guys that agreed with the Lakers, we're all former Lakers.

2:14.7

Those are two pretty good ones to turn to. So, yeah, I could see that happening. Sonic Fighter 25 with Super Chat said, after the whole Spencer 5-team trade, my hope for Buddy Heald has gone out the window. Yes, I think that's pretty much where we're at. That's appropriate. I don't think there is any hope left for the Buddy Heald thing. I don't think Sacramento wants Dennis Schroeder. And we can see why. They just drafted another guard with Davion Mitchell. In addition to they've got Halliburton, they have Deer and Fox. They don't need Dennis Schroeder there. So I don't think anything's going to happen with Dennis Schroeder going to the Kings and Buddy Heald's coming back to the Lakers. It would be a great fit. But unfortunately, I think that is indeed dead. Yeah, and look, I think the Lakers moves in free agency really cemented that before

2:57.7

this five-team trade. The Lakers have six guards on their roster. I don't know if they were going to go
