  • The very best of the many Laker podcasts out there

    Long time Lakers fan. Listen to many podcasts . This is by far the best, smartest podcast out there. And it’s wonderful that he takes the time to answer so many of the listener questions. Jovan is not only very articulate but very informed.

  • Lebron Buyout?

    Jovan—great show, and love the Great Western Forum as well. My question is this: You’re the Lakers. Lebron doesn’t like the roster but instead of asking for a trade, he asks to be bought out. You have a reputation of treating your stars well. What would you do? Thanks.

    This episode with Iztok Franko was exceptional. Great info and insight on Luka’s past success, well-reasoned options for building around him. Loved listening. Purposely switched to 1x speed to better absorb everything.

I am high on that ability, especially with Luka Doncic aboard, who is a top-four player and has the potential to be the best.
