Recapping a wild opening day of NBA free agency: The Lakers are still very much in the hunt for Kawhi Leonard, who can Rob Pelinka sign if the team gets or misses out on Leonard to fill out the roster, plus more with Harrison Faigen

In this episode, Harrison Faigen and Jas Kang breakdown the opening day of NBA free agency. The biggest news is that Kawhi Leonard still has not made a decision and the Lakers are reportedly still very much in the mix. The guys get into if waiting for Kawhi is the best way to go and if the team did itself a disservice by missing out on most of the other available names. If Rob Pelinka is able to get Kawhi signed, or he strikes out with The Finals MVP, who can the Lakers bring in to fill out their roster behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Following that, Harrison and Jas talk about how the Lakers benefitted from teams overpaying for certain free agents, plus how Pelinka can get creative moving forward. To wrap things up,  Harrison and Jas get into Brooklyn Nets getting Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, D'Angelo Russell moving to the Warriors, plus share their thoughts on the Jimmy Butler move to the Miami Heat.  Learn more about your ad choices.
