Welcome to the Ringer MBA Show. I'm Chris Vernon, joining me is he does every Tuesday from the Ringer.com is Kevin O'Connor, aka Kevin O'Bomer, aka Kevin O'Connor, aka Kevin O'Connor, aka Kevin O'Conflict, aka Kevin O'Candyland, aka Kevin O'Penionated, Kevon!

Vernon, what's going on, man? Free agency, that is what is going on. And let's get this out of the way.

We are recording this on Tuesday morning. There is a ton of smoke regarding co-ilandered, possibly signing up with the Los Angeles Lakers.

If we are to believe that Las Vegas typically has a beat on what is going to take place, they have lowered the odds for the Los Angeles Lakers.

There are a lot of reports out there saying that they have met with Kauai, and there are a lot of people saying that they think.

And the other thing is players coming out via Twitter or other avenues with the inference that that is where he is going to go.

Now, I suppose if Masai does get the last meeting with Kauai, then he's got a chance, right?

But it certainly sounds like the guys mind may be made up before he even has that last meeting with Toronto.

I don't know, I didn't see it going this way. If this is the way it does, in fact, go Kev. What do you think?

I don't know, man. The co-ilandered thing is a total mystery here.

My gut tells me it will be one of the L.A. teams, but who really knows with him, to me, it's like his choice.

I wrote about this this week. His choice will determine how we perceive the entirely going into the season.

Because right now, Chris, as it stands, there are like 10 to 15 teams you can make a case for that have an actual chance to win the championship.

Whether it's with their roster right now or whether they make one more move to put them in that serious conversation for a championship.

But if Kauai goes to the Lakers, we're going to have another super team like the Heedles, like the Hampton's five Warriors, where they are the clear and definitive favorite.

And other fan bases feel like there's just no shot. But if he goes to the Clippers, they'll be a favorite or the favorite, but not so.

To such an extent that it'll be overwhelming over other teams. And if he says with Toronto, it took four bounces to get by Philadelphia last year.

The luck might not be on their side next year. And so Kauai's choice is going to just change everything of what we're feeling right now in this moment.

And that's a league that is just filled with more parity than we I can remember in a long, long time.
