Hello, Lakers Nation.

Welcome in the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

I'm Trevor Lane. We've got a ton of Lakers basketball to talk about today. We've got fresh updates on the trade front. Are the Lakers finally going to pull the trigger on a Russell Westbrook deal? Or are we going to be waiting for a while longer? We'll talk a bit about that as well, some of the possibilities that could be out there. I want to also talk about the backlash to the Russell Westbrook backlash, which is a bit odd.

And I'll get into why that's going on.

I've also got a lot of questions that I've been submitted by Lakers fans that I want to dive into.

That's going to allow me to touch upon a number of different topics today.

We had so many super chats from our last live show, which was the Lakers versus Blazers postgame show.

Lakers fans obviously not happy and with good reason over what happened there.

The Lakers players were not happy.

Again, they should not be based on what happened giving that game away to the Portland Trailblazers

remaining winless in this NBA season so far.

So we want to get into those.

Going to touch upon a lot of topics through that.

But let's get into our first topic of the day, and that is the Lakers trade front.

So yesterday, Shams Tarania had a piece that came out that explained that the Lakers are still looking at waiting 20,

and then he threw out the possibility of 25 games.
