Hello Lakers nation welcome in to the Lakers nation dot com a podcast I am Trevor Lane coming to you from Blue Wire Studios at the win in Las Vegas out here for Summer League today. We need to talk about the Lakers roster and what we've got to look forward to next season.

Joining me, Ron Gutterman, Dan Starkin,

and editor extraordinary from Lakers Nation.com and Alex Berutha from Rotowire.

Guys, welcome in.

Thanks for having us.

we said over and over again, this roster does not make sense. We said the same thing last

things off there. Why? And I'll start with you Ron Ron, I know you love roster building.

What is it that you look at this Lakers roster and you say, man, this really makes sense.

There's got a lot to be optimistic about.

Yeah, I think what makes sense about this team is sort of the positional

versatility and the positional depth.

You know, you have guys like Max Christie and Austin Reeves who are twos,

but they're also ones, like they can do a little bit of that ball

handling and creation as well.

You have your two main point guards in De Angelo Russell and Gabe Vincent who are both

really solid players and kind of provide you like between the two of them you can

you know you're getting 48 minutes of quality
