Hello, Laker Station.

Sean Davis here for LakeRatation.com.

You're home for everything Lakers. Oh, man. We actually got a little bit of news to talk about today. Please welcome you all in from YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. Welcome. We'll take your questions and comments throughout tonight. Also on the East Coast, happy birthday. Kobe, man. We love you, man, and we all dearly, dearly miss you. Join me tonight. Matt, the optimist. Matt, we,

how you doing, man? We could surely use your optimism tonight.

Oh, is it because of the report about Kyrie Irving staying in Brooklyn or them wanting to keep them?

Is that why? Yeah, I feel like a lot of Lakers' Twitter and social media is divided. Matt, you still seem rather confident. I mean, we'll see. I mean, never say never. I think it's funny that the report came from Shams, who's been very pro-Kyrie staying in Brooklyn, so I'm not panicking quite yet. I did hear you at the top of the show, though. Do want to wish Kobe a happy birthday.

Shout out my guy.

Reason why I have the canvas behind me.

So appreciate it.

But yeah, I mean, as far as Kyrie Irving goes, man, I'm not, I'm not panicking quite yet.

We've still got a little bit of time until training camp.

When does the panic button sound off in terms of, we're not getting kairi for you because you definitely see more calm than a rest

of lakers uh twitter um um i'd say like maybe a week out from pre from uh training camp. I'd start to maybe worry about a deal getting done.

But I will say though that I'm not, okay, let me let me preface this by saying I do want

Kyrie Irving as much as the next Lakers fan does.

But say it doesn't pan out and it doesn't happen.

I don't think the Lakers are completely so well.

I do think that they can make trades to still improve the roster.

Because I think you and I are kind of in the same boat where if we get a healthy LeBron and AD in the playoffs, we'll happily take our chances then.

Yeah, I agree there.

So let's just start off there.

So Shams just start off there.
