Hello, Lakers Nation.

Welcome in.

Trevor Lane here for Lakersnation.com.

You're home for everything.

Lakers. This is the Lakersnation.com live podcast. It is fun Friday. We're going to kick off the weekend talking Lakers basketball. We've got plenty of things to dive into, including the latest on the trade negotiations between the Lakers and the Pacers, which right now are apparently dead, but not really, only kind of, unless somebody picks up the phone.

And of course, we'll be taking your questions and comments, those of you coming in live from YouTube, from Facebook, from Twitter. If you're listening to the podcast version of this, make sure you do subscribe, rate, and review over on Apple Podcasts.
