potential moves and hachimura’s name has frequently surfaced in trade discussions but what’s the real story are the Lakers really looking to shop haimura or is it more about the circumstances they find themselves in let’s break it all down ruie haimura had an impressive of season with the Lakers especially after overcoming a slow start and dealing with injuries once he secured a spot in the starting lineup he averaged 15.4 points per game shot 57.5% from the field and an impressive 43.9% from three-point range over 39 games he also showed significant Improvement in his defensive game making him a valuable asset to the team despite his solid performance hachimura’s name has been a constant in trade rumors this off season according to jovon bhha of the athletic this isn’t because the Lakers want to part ways with him but rather due to the financial and strategic circumstances the team is navigating let’s delve into why hashimura might be mentioned in trade talks and what this means for the Lakers offseason strategy buha explains that the Lakers are not actively shopping rui Haim M instead the discussion around his potential trade stems from the reality of the team’s salary cap situation the Lakers have several players with midsize contracts and these are often the ones that can be combined to bring in another star or a high impact role player hachimura’s $17 million contract especially with D’Angelo Russell likely opting out becomes the largest tradable asset the Lakers possess this puts h in the spotlight not because the Lakers want to offload him but because his contract is the most viable to use in acquiring another key player the Lakers have made it clear that they prefer to retain Austin Reeves a fan favorite and a crucial part of the team’s future plans as a result haimura along with players like Gabe Vincent and Jared Vanderbilt become the likely candidates in potential trade packages it’s a matter of necessity rather than choice as the Lakers aim to improve their roster without dismantling the core pieces they wish to build around given the current Dynamics it’s expected that haimura Vincent and Vanderbilt will hear their names and trade rumors throughout the summer the Lakers are exploring all avenues to enhance their squad and return to Championship contention this might involve trading for another star but recent rumors suggest a different approach while many trade rumors link the Lakers to a iring a third star there’s growing speculation that the franchise might be more interested in bolstering their Supporting Cast this shift in strategy could be pivotal for the team’s success next season the Lakers struggled with depth during the latter part of the Season which became apparent as the team faltered in crucial moments the front office might be looking to address this issue by bringing in reliable Shooters and versatile Defenders to complement the Superstar Duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis enhancing The Supporting Cast could provide the depth necessary to sustain a deep playoff run Kelly UB Jr has emerged as a potential Target for the Lakers UB had a standout season with the Philadelphia 76 ER averaging 15.4 points 5.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game his performance was a bargain for the 7 6 ER and he’s now set for a substantial pay raise while it might be challenging for the Lakers to secure him due to his high market value ub’s versatility and defensive prowess make him an attractive option by potentially adding players like UB the Lakers can create a more balanced and formidable roster the emphasis would be on creating a well-rounded team capable of performing at a high level throughout the season rather than relying heavily on a third star as we navigate through this exciting and uncertain offseason it’s clear that the Lakers are strategically positioning themselves to make impactful moves while ruie hachimura’s name will continue to be part of trade discussions it’s essential to understand that this is driven by Financial strategy rather than a desire to part ways with a key player the Lakers potential shift towards strengthening their Supporting Cast

season and make a strong push for another championship thank you for tuning in to Los Angeles Lakers news today make sure to like subscribe and hit the notification Bell to stay updated with all the latest Lakers news and rumors let’s look forward to an exciting offseason and an even more thrilling upcoming season go Lakers pardon the interruption but I’m Mike wion Tony police in Canada are looking for two men who broke into a restaurant and stole thousands of dollars of tropical fish Tony corn Heiser somebody please buy these from me I want to use my bathtub again had no idea that they would be all over the bathtu when is the last time you were in Canada de it’s been a while decad well it’s been a while there is the extradition order and I’ve tried to avoid it those things happen welcome to PTI boys and girls in today’s episode Caitlyn Clark gets shoved Real Madrid has two reasons to celebrate and Aaron judge is on fire but we begin today with the Edmonton Oilers beating Dallas last night 2 to one to earn a birth in the Stanley Cup Final against Florida last night Conor McDavid spectacular tour a force goal the first of the game showed everyone why he is considered the most skilled player in the NHL look at this Edmonton is seeking to become the first Canadian team to win the cup in 30 years yeah so what does this mean for Edmonton for McDavid and do you consider Florida the favorites well I don’t know about favorites Tony it seems like two real equal teams even though I know Vegas has installed Florida as a favorite but let me go back just to last night’s game as we talk about how great maybe Edmonton is and and Edmonton is better Edmonton reminds me right now of of of Dallas of the Mavericks just in the NHL and that they are so much better over the last six to eight weeks than they were 15 weeks ago Tony this is from Stars Captain Jamie Ben after the game he said quote you could probably argue this was our best game of the series talking about his Dallas Stars and they lost and they outshot Edmonton 12 to3 early on and they couldn’t Dent him it’s not just dry idal and McDavid you got steuart Skinner the goenda weak link he’s been everything but that the last couple of series you’ve also got ryant Newen Hopkins who’s come along as the Ace of everything whether it’s five on five short-handed play power play you got Zack Heyman who scored the what turned out to be the game winner they’ve got an ensemble in Edmonton now it means everything to Canada cuz this is their national sport it ain’t Florida’s I I don’t even need a team in the sunu I want to see Edmonton win you know that seeing it for months no I know and that’s why I don’t think you favor Florida and I’ll get to that in a second what impressed me the most last night about Edmonton was their economy they only had three shots on goal in the first period and they made two of them and it started with mcdavid’s spectacular solo goal and then he assisted on heyman’s what turns out to be the game-winning goal and that seems to me Mike a perfect Prelude to walk into the Stanley Cup Final now I I I it just it seems to set up well for Edmonton I think honestly that most people probably would like to see McDavid win and to see Edmonton win it’s almost Unthinkable that it’s been 30 years since a Canadian team it’s their sport it’s 30 years since a Canadian team has won this thing I think that McDavid and dry cidal are the Glamorous people in this and I’ll just take about 30 more seconds to just say this that if you ask me if I think Florida should be favored I actually do doesn’t mean I want him to win but I think they should be favored Mike they were in the Stanley Cup Final last year so if there are lessons to be learned by being in the final they have learned those lessons they beat the Rangers to get there weren’t they the president’s Trophy winners this year they had six more points in the regular season than Edmonton but I agree with you that after they fired the coach at Edmonton Edmonton then looked like the greatest team in the NHL and by the way as you point out when you talk about series historically the best player in this series is on which team Edmonton maybe the two best players in this series are on Evon because we’re going to add dry to that and yet evon’s learned recently how to exist and identify as a team that can win close games one goal game can be a defensive team that that wasn’t going on three months ago all agreed to that and all agreed that if they win that McDavid will be certified as an alltime player let’s move though let’s go to Caitlyn Clark she played two games over the weekend in a win over Chicago she got simply shoved to the ground off the ball the foul was upgraded later to a flagrant one yesterday Clark made only one shot scored only three points as New York beat Indiana by 36 points won where do you want to start you know Tony I don’t want to start with a game a specific game or a specific number of points oh just three points I don’t because the discussion about Caitlyn Clark needs to be much larger than that and it needs to be much more nuanced and it needs to be honest and it’s not honest it it it just isn’t you have people with all kinds of agendas and people are afraid and on your podcast this morning I talked about how angry angry I am about National media which only wants to write about analytics and doesn’t want to get into substantive things that are sensitive that might be the third rail everyone’s afraid to touch We’re Not Gonna Be Afraid here the discussion about Caitlyn Clark has to deal with and I mean initially and loudly race raceing culture in America that’s part of this and basketball is the place Tony where it’s more often discussed historically yes it started maybe with Jackie Robinson and with certain prize Fighters Jack Johnson but it’s been a basketball discussion when it was about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson and the sort of enemies they were before they became deep and abiding that their friendship but I mean I remember Spike Lee an important part of his movie making dealt with bird and dealt with a wh star basketball player in America cuz there ain’t one on the male side is Caitlyn Clark and it’s okay for people to admit that they identify with so I identify with people maybe part of why I identify with Edmonton or people like Evander Kane and Darnell nurse who are people of color and so it’s okay to identify that you’re not going to find that white American Star in men’s basketball Caitlyn Clark is that and she brings people into the tent because she’s great and she’s unique in this case she’s white in a sport of black people that’s part of the deal part of the deal elepant in the room no so here’s the thing I’ve watched I think part of or all of almost every game she has played in the WNBA I watched both games over the weekend she is being deliberately hit and let me stress deliberately um it it’s a little bit more dangerous a little bit more Sinister than just a hard welcome to a new league it appears that the intent sometimes is to injure her and what’s particularly disconcerting is when somebody who knocks her down is welcomed back by her teammates saying yeah you know congratulated basically it it it leads to two conclusions Mike one is the Indiana teammates when are they going to stand up for Caitlyn Clark cuz they have not done that yet when are they going to do that or else they’re saying to Caitlyn Clark we don’t have your back and if they don’t have her back physically why is she playing on that team and two is there a living breathing commissioner in the WNBA because there if there is that person has to say to all the players in the WNBA and all the coaches in the WNBA hey we’re not going to have this anymore we’re going to make sure you understand these fouls are flagrant fouls they’re going to lead to ejection if they happen more than once they’re going to to lead to suspension this season cannot be The Hazing of Caitlyn Clark Mike you and I both talked about this at length and we understand where there’s a lot of resentment of Caitlyn Clark and how famous she is and how popular she is and how much money she makes off the court because everybody in the league wants that raise your hand everybody in the league wants that but people in the league have to realize also that the eyeballs are on the league right now because of Caitlyn Clark so you can beat her in a game because you know what she’s not great now she is not great now you can tie her in the game that’s why you just can’t try to hurtt her but Tony here but Tony you’re not going to legislate this it’s never legislated that resentment that you described is what we have to get at and people don’t want to get at it or they get at it clumsily or they’re they’re not sophisticated enough to to understand the resentment why it’s there and how it’s going to have to play out Tony is going to have to play out on the court there’s no commissioner who’s going to legislate that the hard fils and if there is resentment and over what there’s have to be discussion and there’s not there’s not honest candid discussion so you know what not yet we’re going to have this and and I’m not for flagrant file okay you can call that that’s taken care of on the court and her teammates I hear you on all that but guess what we gonna be I told you in when this was going on in Iowa Iowa was not the real basketball world I live next door all my life I grew up there in Illinois now Caitlyn Clark’s in the real basketball world just like Like Larry Bird was in it and he had to navigate it and it took like much of his career and then it went away didn’t it because of what happened on the court organically Clark to get that point tone there’s a substantial difference what Larry Bird and Magic Johnson came into this league and immediately were great players yeah immediately she is not immediately a great player there is a difference okay not yet not yet let’s move to baseball where Aaron judge is back to being the offensive Colossus we’ve known him to be judge went six for 10 with three home runs in a weekend sweep of the Giants and for the month of May he had 361 361 with 14 home runs and Ops of nearly 1400 judge’s production had tailed off ever since his toe injury one year ago today tone should we officially stop now worrying about that with Aaron judge happy anniversary Aaron judges toe uh yeah let’s go over these numbers one more time if we could on the weekend six for 12 three Homer six RBI that’s a great weekend Mike in my condition it’s a lot better weekend than I had let’s go over the May 361 14 homers 27 RBI he also had 26 extra base hits the last Yankee to have 26 extra base hits in that month is Joe deasio Mickey manl didn’t do it Derek Jeter didn’t do it that’s a terrific May so whether this is ever completely healed or not he seems Aaron judge seems to be learning to live with it but I will say this Mike he has helped immeasurably this year by having Juan stto out there with him here’s Juan sto’s weekend 6 for 12 two homeless in four RBI I’m gonna say something that’s going to make people angry right now they’re Ruth and garri and I mean that they’re one and two in all of baseball and Ops in the next 10 to 14 days we’re going to talk a lot about Luca and Kyrie Irving judge and Soo are better than them right now in their sport I’m glad you mentioned Mickey Mano because if we’re going to talk about injuries and how long people have to put up with them and Aaron judge said I’m G have to deal with this deal with it forever Mickey Mano played like if he played what 16 years 16 Seasons something like that he had to play 13 or 14 of them as you know after stepping in that drain pipe or whatever it was and his KNE was never he was his greatest physically at 18 and he had to deal with that and athletes and you and I know this from being a locker rooms they are things people never disclose or they show you at their locker and say look at this finger I can’t straighten it I’ll never be able to do it and this is what happens great athletes deal with these things I’m glad Aaron judge is dealing with this understands he’s got this and yeah I think you know yeah it seems like he’s going to be okay he’s okay already let’s take a break coming up should Real Madrid be happier about it Champions League title or Landing Killian mbappe and does Tommy fam have good reason to pick a fight with William conteras you may be right that it can’t be legislated about cait Clark can’t be but it’s got to be discussed there has to be open discussion about this don’t you got there yet yes inside the Baseline look how far he is inside the Baseline and Contreras who’s a tough guy the toughness runs in that family at that position tags him out he flexes a little bit you can Flex he didn’t do a full Steph Curry dance but then fam goes like crazy and Shadow Boxing on the way out to the Outfield it’s crazy the white sock are so bad the white socks and Cubs are two and 20 together in their last whatever games two and 20 they’re so awful and the White Soxs are the worst team I’ve ever seen and this is what fam’s doing I guess it’s entertaining cuz that’s all is passing for entertainment on the southide that’s it the question is did he overreact yeah I’ll let you be the judge I’m going to read a quote from fam this direct quote I’m out by a mile at the plate I’m going to The Dugout I hear the tough guy and he means contras with all that hurah stuff I never start anything but I’ll be prepared to finish it there’s a reason I do all sorts of fighting in the off season cuz I’m prepared to mess somebody up so take it as what it is unquote what what this is a guy who two years ago slap jock Peterson in the face on a fantasy football dispute what this is what are we talking about what he does he’s a legit tough guy female he’s that but he’s also played for six teams in the last four years yeah so let’s take one last break still to come Justin Jefferson has something to celebrate and a setback to the scheduled Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight Tommy fam you want to take on somebody who we know is tough take on Mike Tyson and don’t give don’t give me a contarus go ahead I agree Flex on Mike Tyson see how that turns out for [Music] Tyson happy time people happy 38th birthday Al Horford 38 that’s two years older than your coach Joe maula the Celtics are in the finals doing no small part to Horford’s contributions after kristof’s porzingis went down in the first round with a left CF string Horford stepped into the starting lineup and Boston has gone 9 and won since it’s Horford’s second stint with the Celtics he left for the Sixers in free agency in 2019 then went to Oklahoma City and the first move Brad Stevens made as president of basketball operations was to trade to get him back Horford can win his first ring in his 17th season he’s played 181 playoff games only John Stockton and car Malone played in more without winning a title you know people can talk all they want about somebody stepping up and next man up they can talk it Al Horford just did it he’s doing it right now with no porzingis good for him happy birthday not so happy anniversary Sammy SAA on this day 21 years ago Sosa was ejected from a game after he shattered his Bat in the first inning exposing a hollowed out barrel and pieces of Court then Cubs manager Dusty Baker said he didn’t want to rush to judgment until quote all the evidence was in unquote the evidence was in it was in the infield SOS apologized after the game saying a bat he occasionally used for batting practice to entertain the fans inadvertently got mixed in with his game bats yeah baseball said tests on 76 other bats of SAS came back clean as did five in the Hall of Fame but still suspended him seven games this and peed allegations limited Sosa’s Hall of Fame votes to a high of only 177% in 2021 Tony Sammy Sosa his resume his accomplishments his staggering numbers have been relegated to irrelevance more than any player in Major League Baseball history in my opinion you go go through and look at what Sosa did over about a six or sevene stretch not even Ruth did some of these things and yet you know it’s like they don’t even count I would argue that Barry Bonds is in that same group I would a Melancholy trails to Larry Allen the Dallas Cowboys said in a statement that the Hall of Fame offensive lineman died suddenly yesterday at the age of 52 while on vacation with his family in mexx Meo playing both guard and both tackle positions but mostly left guard Allan Block for Troy Aman and Tony Romo and everyone besides an NB he made 11 Pro bowls was named First Team all pro six times won a Super Bowl and became a first ballot Hall of Famer 11 years ago Allen was massive and massively athletic just watch this video of him chasing down Saints linebacker Daren Connor on an interception return in 1994 look at that Tony Larry Allen is on the short list real short a greatest lineman of all time I mean a lot of people might have Anthony Munoz there fine they’re going to ever argue against him but Larry Allen was a Marvel to watch in ways I thought that not even Munoz was and so this is just man 52 years old so so young and this is so sad to hear very sad it’s very sad let’s go to the big finish if we could let’s do it the Vikings and Justin Jefferson agreed to a 4-year deal with $110 million guaranteed is that deserve he’s the best receiver in the game right now he is somebody made pass it anybody above him now yes is deserved yasas won her second US Women’s Open your thoughts she’s only
