The 30: ESPN gives the Lakers the fourth-best odds to win the NBA title, LeBron James and Anthony Davis' MVP odds, Alex Caruso, plus Kobe dropping 55 on Michael Jordan and the Wizards

In this episode, Jas is joined by Ali Behpoornia of Silver Screen and Roll as well as Lakers Film Room. To kick things off, Ali and Jas discuss ESPN's preseason expert picks that saw them give the Lakers the fourth-best odds to win the NBA championship. The guys share their thoughts on if this is a fair ranking and how the Lakers stack up against the loaded Western Conference. Following that, Ali and Jas talk about LeBron James and Anthony Davis' MVP odds for the upcoming season and who could be some sleeper picks. With expectations high for Alex Caruso, they get into what would be considered a successful season for the point guard and how he fits into the rotation. With all the buzz about Dwight Howard lately, Ali and Jas discuss how the big man will fit into the Lakers plans and what he needs to do to keep his spot on the roster. They wrap things up with the age old debate on how they rank Kobe, LeBron and Michael Jordan.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
