The game goal is four three in the win.

Oh, it's got it.

2020 NBA championship belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Hello Lakers Nation.

Welcome.

And it is Monday night, 9 o'clock Pacific time. That means it's time for

the Lakersnation.com live offseason show. We're going to be talking about the Lakers, the different

moves that they can make as we look forward to free agency, to trades. Of course, the NBA draft as

well. We've got the draft lottery coming up tomorrow night and be exciting to see where all of the teams do slot in. The Lakers will. They'll have the 22nd pick and the draft might they trade it just like they did last year with the 28th pick. So a ton to break down, ton of things to talk about. Joining me tonight are Ron Gutterman and Skyler Treppled, both from Lakersnation.com. Ron, let's start with you. How are you doing, man? And how are you holding up? Now there's just four teams remaining. Yeah, I mean, one thing that's great about the first round is there's just games every night. There's two, three games a night. Now we're really getting to, like, the dog days where you can sense the season's about to end and also with the

Lakers not being here. It's just doubly tough. So yeah, I mean, just getting through it,

waiting for that offseason, the rumor mill to start up again.

Skyler, this is the first night when we've had no basketball in something ridiculous. Somebody put

it out there on Twitter. I don't remember what it was, but it's like

weeks and weeks and weeks that it's been that we've had playoff basketball every single night.

And tonight, there's nothing. It feels weird. This is strange to not have like a game going on while

we're doing this. It's incredibly strange. And that is that exactly why I am here tonight with the fans and with you guys because I just needed to let those basketball juices flow.

What an incredible weekend in the NBA. Kevin Durant making history. Devin Booker paying tribute in the right way to Kobe Bryant. And I'm sure we'll get into all of that soon. But overall, you know, pretty excited with what's going on in the playoffs and we'll get into it. But if the suns win, at least it shows we got beat by the best. And as always, Lakers will be back better than ever. Yeah, I guess, you know, I want to get into Lakers trades and transactions and stuff. We'll get there in just a minute. But Ron, you, you're an article you wrote for Lakers Nation.com essentially got aggregated

by, by the Arizona Republic, basically citing the fact that Lakers fans, the vast majority

of them want to see the Suns win instead of the Clippers. And I am among them.

I am in that boat. As soon as the Lakers went out, my mantra was anyone but the Clippers,

because the Celtics were already out. It was anyone but the Clippers. Ron, what do you think about

that dynamic? Why is it that Lakers fans want to see the Clippers out so badly?
