Summary
December 15th is the unofficial opening of trade season as nearly all the players who signed contracts this offseason become trade eligible. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the trade landscape for the Lakers (and across the league) by discussing how leverage, reports and media leaks, team's self-evaluations, and being able to convince the other side to make a deal all collide to determine whether or not a deal might get made and, if so, on what timeline.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |

| 0:45.0 | start of the NBA trading season. It's the date when the players who are signed this offseason |
| 0:51.9 | are eligible to be traded. Now, that does not mean |

| 1:06.9 | by the trade deadline, but I do think that this is when negotiations really start to turn up a |
| 1:12.5 | little bit, right? And we've heard more and more rumors and whatnot. And so today we may get |
