Dedicated to the Study of Lakers Basketball. Hosted by Pete Zayas & Darius Soriano.

Pete and Darius create a wishlist of things they’d like to see from the Lakers this upcoming season, diving into team and individual milestones that, if they’re able to achieve them, can propel the Lakers into a higher tier of competitiveness. And then later, the guys chime in with their opinions on whether you could replace Kobe with Tracy McGrady or another superstar on those early 2000’s Lakers teams and replicate their success.
