Lakers Talk with Mike Trudell
Lakers Talk HOUR 2_09-14-26
HOUR 2 - MIKE TRUDELL & CHRIS MCGEE (Guest Ben Golliver) 8:00 Mike and Geeter take callers who ask which Laker will be under the most pressure this season? They definitely think that Luka is the leader of this current team and will be under the most pressure. However, they feel Austin will be under big pressure because of the big amount of money he signed for. But he is a very competitive guy and will most likely rise to the occasion. 8:15 ESPN NBA Senior Writer Ben Golliver calls in to join the show. They start off talking about his bird named Gelato. They open up discussion again into Steve Ballmer and the LA Clippers. Ben tips his hat to Adam Silver. They think Leonard has to be really nervous with the Feds getting involved. They discuss the involvement of Uncle Dennis. Kawhi hasn't done anything in the playoffs in the past 5 years. This scandal may have damaged Kawhi more than we even thought. 8:30 The guys start off this segment with their Walter Kessler takes. Mike thinks the Lakers can build a good defense with him. We need someone to pressure the ball after losing Marcus Smart. Luka and Austin are great at elevating guys so Geeter thinks they will meld great together. Geeter is really excited about Walter Kessler; he was a need and a must for this team. The Lakers will be missing Rui Hachimura and who will step up in his absence -- maybe Mamu. 8:45 Deondre calls in to talk about being the first one kicked out of his NFL fantasy guillotine league. The Kansas City-Denver game is the one that brought him down. He discusses his picks with Mike and Geeter and they can't believe he got kicked out of the pool first. But someone always has to be the first. It came down to injuries and to Davante Adams not producing on Thursday during the Rams game. Learn more about your ad choices.
