That means every time we put out a video, you get notified and you know what's going on with the

Lakers heading into the trade deadline.

And then, of course, everybody joining me right now live on AMP.

Welcome and we've taken callers.

So if you are ready to call in, go ahead and do that.

I see people already lining up in the queue here and we're going to talk some Lakers basketball tonight.

You know, we're getting into the important part of the season as far as watching the

standings, not just for the Lakers, but watching the scores around the NBA, we're hitting

that part where everything is important because it's not going to take just the Lakers

winning games in order for them to move up the standings to get into the playoff hunt.

Instead,

it's going to take some other teams losing as well. As of right now, it's been an okay evening on the scoreboard for the Lakers right now. Has not been ideal. We had the Utah Jazz win.

Now, they beat the Toronto Raptors and that's the team that's going to come up quite a bit tonight when we're talking about the trade front. So maybe that's the silver lining there, but ideally you would have the Utah Jazz lose that game. The Sacramento Kings beat the San Antonio Spurs. Ideally, you'd have the Kings lose that game. Now, the wolves beat the Warriors. I think I would rather have that go the other way because I've got more confidence in the

Warriors making a push, but at least it's two West teams playing each other.

One of them had to lose their two West playoff hunt teams.

And so the Warriors pick up the loss in that one.

Now, the good thing, the Rockets, thank you, Houston, beat the thunder.
