Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakersnation.com podcast. I am Trevor Lane. You can find me on X at Trevor underscore Lane on Instagram and threads at Trevor Lane, NBA. We got a big wait this week. We've got Rob Polika and JJ Reddick having a press conference meeting with the media day after tomorrow. That's September 25th. I want to talk about on today's show, what do we want to find out

in that pressure? This is going to be our first big opportunity to now that everything,

the dust has essentially settled from the off season, ask Rob what happened, find out where

his head's at, what the team's thought process is. I want to get into that. Same thing with JJ

Redick, what he's thinking about the team, how he's planning on utilizing certain players. I want to get into that. Same thing with JJ Reddick, what he's thinking about

the team, how he's planning on utilizing certain players. I want to go through the different

things that I would like to find out from this press conference coming up on Wednesday. We'll

start the show with that. Then I want to talk a little bit about Christian Coloco, the most recent

update on him where that situation currently stands and finish things up talking about Austin Reeves.

So I thought it had a pretty interesting comment about LeBron James and the Lakers 2020 championship and how people perceive LeBron.

So we'll finish things up talking about that.

All right, let's kick things off. Here we go. What do we want to find out? I usually, if you guys have seen the interviews and stuff that I've done on this channel, if you guys have seen interviews that have done with players and all that, usually the rule of thumb is you want to try to ask open-ended questions so that the

interviewee can take them whatever direction they want to go and give you lots of different

information.

But in this case, this is just very direct.

What is happening with Jared Vanderbilt?

I think this, I made these questions in no particular order, but this is number one.

I mean, if I were to rank them, this is it. What is going on with Jared Vanderbilt? Is he available for training camp? Is he still rehabbing his foot? Where is he at? Is he 100%? Is he 70%? Is he 90%? What is going on? And is he going to be ready for the season?

I just think so much of this Lakers roster when you look at actually breaking it down.
