Hello Lakers nation

Welcome back to the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

We're coming to you from Blue Wire Studios at the win in Las Vegas. We're going to talk all things. Lakers joining me today, very special guest. We've got my buddy, Alan Slewa from ESPN, one of my favorite people to talk Lakers basketball with. Alan, how are you doing? Treve, what is going on? First off, appreciate you having me on. Second, you're just out there at the

win in Las Vegas. I don't know how you're handling the Lakers not making the playoffs. Maybe Vegas is the answer. That's it. That's the answer. That's why I'm here to handle my depression over the Lakers, not making the playoffs. That's what that's what's happening right now. How are you holding up with all of that. Like, are you feeling, are you missing Lakers basketball yet? Or is it still,

are the wounds too new now. How are you holding up with all of that? Like, are you feeling,

are you missing Lakers basketball yet? Or is it still, are the wounds too new? Or what are you,

how are you feeling? I got to be honest with you. This season was so bad, right? That just the way they played, the product, the expectations, guys that came on the roster that weren't there

before and how much

they disappointed. To be honest, I think I feel like a lot of Laker fans where it's almost a little

bit of a relief to just step away from it. You know, I know that the playing tournaments have

started and this weekend, the actual first round will begin. Let's just watch some good basketball.

We'll kick back and hopefully the Lakers can start regrouping. Yeah, I mean, they absolutely need to. Of course, Rob Polinkas said that we're not going to see the same result next season. He's got some resolve there to fix this thing. Maybe we should start, though, at the top with this, Alan. LeBron James, we know he's going to be eligible for a contract extension come August

4th, did not want to reveal in his exit interview whether or not he was actually going

to sign that.

Should Lakers fans be worried at all that LeBron didn't say, oh yeah, I'm still on board.

I'm going to sign that extension.

Is that cause for concern?

You know, to be honest with you, for me, it's not much cause for concern.
