Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com podcast. I am Trevor Lane. First full live show back from vacation. I'm rested. I'm ready. Let's go. We've got a lot to talk about on tonight's show. Well, okay, we don't have a, there's not a million things going on in the world of the Lakers. Not as much as they're going to be, you know, end of September, once we get into October, all that kind of stuff. We all know. Look, we all know the story. We all know exactly what's going on right now. We're all waiting. Still. Still. Still. Waiting. Rob. We're going to do something. No. we're going to do something? We're going to get something? Anything? Clock's taken. Seasons's coming up. Make a move? We're waiting, right? That's where we're at. And we may wind up waiting all the way to the season. That's possible. Not saying it's the outcome I want.

No, no, no.

The Lakers, they need to make a move.

They need to make a move.

We know it.

They know it.

The whole NBA knows it.

Maybe that's part of the problem.

But we know a move needs to come, one way or another.

But it may not happen until we get into the season

and i've got a lot of people that are down on the lakers overly negative right now about the

lakers and i get it i think there's some of that frustration that's built in, right?

Because the expectations were that they're going to make a move.

So what I want to talk about today on tonight's show, and of course, I'm going to be getting

into all your questions, all your comments, all that.

But one of the things I want to talk about on tonight's show, it's what needs to go right for the Lakers. What needs to go

right for the Lakers until they make a move? Because I don't want to go into the season

what the roster as is. I know you guys don't either, but it's a possibility. And if that's the case,

what needs to go right in order to get the Lakers to whatever point where they make a move?

Because here's where I'm at with this team. Not good enough. It's not good enough. This

roster, this is not a hot take.

This roster is not good enough.
