What do you think about the Laker team now?

You follow the box scores of the games every day?

Just the Lakers.

You're kidding.

That is really a compliment.

I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

You don't smile much out there.

I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike, and had a couple of roster moves on the back end of the roster. The Lakers let both Des Moix Hodge and Alex Fudge go out of their two-way contracts. Good luck to both of them.

Des Moe especially, I'd love to see with an organized five-out team that plays off of their five that could really use his speed.

I definitely think he's got a future. But good luck to those guys. Lakers signed Dylan Wendler and Skyler Mays to two-way contracts.

I think that this provides them with two guys that can at least fill in the gaps when the Lakers are short-handed, Mike. It has a domino effect on Jalen Hood-Shafino,

who played in the G-League game last night that you were the play-by-play announcer on. And so just

wanted to discuss real quick, Mike, a couple of roster moves that I think have some

value in this period, especially with Gabe Vincent out. But curious your thoughts and what you know on

those. Yeah, I think the biggest reason that the Lakers made these moves was to get a couple of guys

on the two ways that have a little bit more NBA ready to them. And that's, I think that the Lakers still really liked Fudge and saw some potential in the future.

But, you know, you're getting Winder who's 27 and has, you know, shown that he can play.

And he's got a lot of skills.

So the rebounding things stood out because he had 33 rebounds instead of Chief Record as a 6-7 wing, which was mind-blowing in some ways, but he's a shooter, and he can pass the ball a little bit. He's just like a good player. He's just kind of a good, solid all-around player. You could throw him onto the court and and figure that he could make his way in the NBA to a different level than what Fudge and Hodge could do. And that can have some value,

especially if injuries stack up, things like that. And then Mays, you know, I've seen him play in

person twice now up in Portland and then down here. And he's just, he's more ready to play now

than either of the aforementioned guys that were waived. And then also,
