Hey all,

Here's the latest @hollywood_hoops Ep. 45 w/Samaki Walker - who I thoroughly enjoyed talking with on the pod. Please give it a listen -
even just to hear his reaction to me asking him about the sprained ankle on the opening tip!

Also, here's my pod at Basketball Insiders from Saturday with Larry Coon - we talk Lakers, Clippers and the Sports Business Classroom we run out of Vegas at Summer League: http://www.basketballinsiders.com/podcast-irving-to-clippers-lakers-cap-space/

Over at Bleacher - we're redrafting the entire league -
with multiple writers taking on teams. I was given Lakers and my #22 overall pick was Lonzo Ball (!?!?) but with an asterisk:

Don't think I posted the link to last week's Hollywood Hoops - more Clippers-centric though we touch on the Lakers' camp invite-types: https://www.almightyballer.com/hollywood-hoops-ep-44-how-long-will-doc-rivers-stick-with-the-l-a-clippers/

Cheers,

Eric

I really enjoyed the basketball insiders podcast with Larry Coon. He's always a good guest.

Thx

On the re-draft of the league, there were 2 horrible picks in the top 20:

Carmelo Anthony is done. I am so happy the lakers were unable to sign him a couple years back. Overrated, over the hill and no D!

DeMarcus Cousins - why anyone wants this cancer of a player is beyond me (and I am talking to my fellow laker fans!).

Samaki seems like a nice guy but doesn't tip his bartenders, even when they buy him and his lady a round of drinks.

Maybe it's the geek in me, but I really enjoyed the Larry Coon podcast.
