The standout performance of day 1 of the Lakers preseason belonged to Malik Monk, so Sabreena and Anthony take some time to figure out what Monk can do on the court to earn time in a crowded backcourt rotation. That leads to a conversation on Frank Vogel's decision-making; how the Lakers will define their identity this year after being a defense-first, second, and third team the past two seasons; and the contractual incentives the Lakers have to invest in Monk compared to Talen Horton-Tucker and...

While the players who did not play -- LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant -- were far more notable than the ones that did, the excitement was still all the same in the purple and gold's return to action after exactly four months off over the summer. Today's edition of "Can U Dig It?" features Jaco...

You'd think that's enough for a full show, but we just had to include Aaron's latest story, this time featuring a night in Vegas with Mic...

The Lakers are usually like the TNT of the NBA - they know drama. But today, they took a backseat as the rest of the league descended into abject chaos: Minnesota fired their GM, reporting in New Orleans revealed an even deeper rift between David Griffin and Zion Williamson, and Doc Rivers attempted to walk back some comments about Ben Simmons.
