Hello, everybody. Welcome in to thelakersnation.com podcast. Just a quick reminder for all of you out

there, Luca Donchich is a Laker. This is real life. This actually happened. Matt, the

optimist Peralta, joining me on today's show. My name's Trevor Lane. Matt, I've had to check

myself a few times over the last 24 hours here as we're recording this. I've had to check myself a few times over the last 24 hours here as we're recording this.

I've had to go in and like double check and like actually make sure, yep, that is Luca on the Lakers roster.

This is real.

My brain hasn't completely accepted that this is real life just yet.

Right there with you.

Have been just constantly scrolling just to make sure I'm reading things correctly.

I've digested almost all the content that's been put out in the past 24 hours regarding

this deal.

Just does not feel real.

Just does not.

Like I said it on like our breaking live stream last night just about how I think this was

going to be like one of the if not the most just stunning and landscape changing franchise altering trades ever and

i still feel that way yeah it absolutely is this is i i go back to the powl trade the

powgousal trade in terms of just shock level that they were able to accomplish

something like this. And this is probably even bigger than that. Because at least with the

POW trade, Andrew Bynum had just gotten hurt and we knew they needed to go find some type of

replacement. They probably need to get something done at the center position. This, man, like we

had been talking about, do they need just a physical center that they're going to bring in,

maybe an athletic guard for the perimeter, probably not a superstar trade, all of that.
