Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

My name's Trevor Lane.

And angry is not the right word to describe how I'm feeling, but it's not far off.

Angry adjacent, maybe.

Frustrated, yes.

Yeah, that one definitely goes there.

Discontent? Uh-huh.

Disheartened?

Yes.

Annoyed. Absolutely. Absolutely, that's a good one.

Not so, like on the edge of angry.

And the reason for that is because there's something that came out yesterday that I thought it really drives home what's gone on with this team in really the LeBron era, specifically regarding

the front office with the Lakers.

And so I think it's time that we have just an honest discussion about where things are

at, where things have been, mistakes that have been made as well as successes, because

that's only fair,

right? That we look at the successes as well. So what I, what I want to do on today's show is

because I know that the way I feel about the way this franchise is moving and maneuvering or not

maneuvering is not unique. And so I want to get into

why. What really has gone on or not gone on during this era of Lakers basketball? What's

different? Why did why did so many of us look at this team and say, God, it just doesn't feel like Lakers basketball. And I think it goes way beyond the players on the court. So I'm going to get into that on today's show. We do have some news coming out of yesterday's practice that we need to get into as well, plus a little bit, just a tiny bit of trade news. And then we'll get into the front office.

I want to really dig deep here and look at what they've done, what they've not done.
