Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakersnation.com podcast. Happy Monday. I am Trevor

Lane. You can find me over on X at Trevor underscore Lane on Instagram and threads at

Trevor Lane, NBA. A lot to talk about today. The Lakers, they made a move. The Lakers did

something. They are bringing in Christian Coloco and a lot of Lakers fans are not happy, not because

of Christian Coloco, but are not happy because in order to bring in Coloco, and a lot of Lakers fans are not happy, not because of Christian Coloco,

but are not happy because in order to bring in Coloco, they are waiving Blake Hinson.

Are they making the right decision in doing that? I'm going to talk a bit about that. Plus,

I'm going to open up a couple of different mailbags and bounce around a number of topics like

Gabe Vincent. What does he mean for the Lakers coming back? Should we bring back another old friend? Should there be a certain big man? No, not that one, a different one, not Dwight, Javail. Should the Lakers bring back Jabelle McGee? I want to get into that question, a lot of different topics that people were asking about when I opened up the mailbag, going to bounce around a bunch of different things.

Let's get to it.

I mean, let's just start right here.

The Lakers decided to wave Blake Hinson.

We knew that in order to bring in big man, Christian Coloco, seven footer, seven, five wingspan,

rim protector, shot blocker, at least has the potential to be those things.

In order to bring him in on a two-way contract, somebody who's going to have to go.

Lakers have Colin Castleton, Armel Triory, Blake Hinson on two-way contracts.

You can only have three.

So the Lakers, we're going to have to get rid of somebody.

And a lot of Lakers fans were not happy that that somebody was Blake Hinson.

Now, I knew once it became clear that this was going to be a two-way contract,

in pretty good sense that it was not going to be Colin Castleton. I put that out there on social media. I said, yeah, it's not going to be a two-way contract, in pretty good sense that it was not going to be Colin Castleton.

And I put that out there on social media.
