It was fine. Great conversation. My two favorite laker shows linked up. If Darius and Trudell were on, this may have been the best laker convo ever lol.

[@XavierSMG18]

@@greggyamisial1914all 4 of those guys have the best laker insight and takes, it makes being a laker fine not suck as much

[@KRswishh]

YOU MADE PETE SHOW HIS FACE??? WHAAAAAAAA

[@shaneguzman2144]

Big W for Jovan. But in no disrespect, I didn’t expect Pete to look like that ngl

[@WrestleVersePodcastCouple]

Did he and Anthony beef or something?

[@TylersLakers247]

Is this the greatest hair podcast in Lakers history?

[@appetizerssushi7121]

Wow! 🤯 It’s crazy to see Pete’s face and voice together 😅😅😅😅! Thanks for all of the great content over the years, you are G.O.A.T.E.D

[@AbeDahBabe]

[@LakerEric]

[@johnsotelo8652]

Wow! How did Pete finally agree to show his face? Wedding gift?

[@daman_r]

ZAYAS!! Love this duo

[@antoniorojas2849]

Petes reaction at 24:32 exemplifies a lot of my thoughts regarding Darvin Ham

[@BabylonGateLA]

[@hakeemoyedeji39]

[@simplyi2ice]

I always listen and never watch. I will watch to see Pete's face for the first time in forever 😭. Get Darius on camera and we are going 5x platinum

[@mason784]

[@SteveNalepa]

Pete's face! Oh man love listening to you two chop it up

[@am3818]

Awesome to put a face on Pete. Great podcast from two of my favorite analysts. Keep up the great work fellas, go Lakers!

[@zenthepoet.]

That's the pete I remember

[@rektpodcast2767]

Watching Pete is wild!

[@austhimreaves]

Such a treat for the ones who know it's very rare!🤘 Pete's deeply emotional connection to Lakers basketball is showing in the best way!

[@Homie2Cents]

[@jamesmichaelsantiago]

[@Steven-lg3zk]

Whhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttsssssssss up Laker fans

[@soymajia]

Wait is this a new intro??? Love it

[@seowth]

YO VAHN BOO HAH BOO HAH, pretty sure he's had it since EP 1 :)

[@luisnash]

I guess this is the first time I have the same opinion of Pete Zayas about a young player, but I'm hyped for Knecht the same he is and for the same reasons while I'm also prepared to eventually get frustrated with his defense.

[@cyberbajan]

I've been listening to the LFR podcast from before COVID, the image i had of Pete is my mind was totally different. With that said the information was on point as always. Thanks.

[@XavierSMG18]

just realized I’ve been imagining a face to Pete for years now lmao goat voice

[@birungiphilo]

I have listened to Pete for the better part of my adult life and finally seeing his face is unreal 🤣🤣🤣.. honestly feels like AI or something 🤣🤣🤣 The facial cues do match the vocal cues 🤣🤣 yeah him and Darius now need to do more video podcasts

[@HoneyBadgerLX]

First time seeing Pete 🤣 been following Pete on KZbin since the D’Angelo Russell days

[@antoniorojas2849]

Jovan, can you ask Pete when he is going back to Twitter?

[@schmitkeoriginals]

IMO - just let LBJ have his HIGHEST USAGE EVER, paired with his LOWEST MINS EVER. The 7, 8, 9, 10 diet... 35ish mins. 1st Q = 7mins, 2nd Q = 8mins, 3rd Q = 9mins 4thQ = 10mins. This lets the King CLOSE games 👑🏆🏆🏆🏆... and trusts the young guns early! 💯💯💯

[@ronjohnson1870]

DOPE

[@rafaelortega2492]

NO WAAAY

[@Floyd78]

I have been listening to Pete's content for about five years now and it's the first time I'm seeing his face, that was unexpected lol

[@Doggy-i6l]

would it be possible to get malcolm brogdon?

[@MrExBearPoker]

I never knew what Pete looked like all these years of listening to the Lakers locker room. Now I know 😂

[@gregnoble8063]

How many 1sts would we have to add to a DLo, Vando and JHS trade for Brogdon and JV? I think those guys fit well

[@westrueblood8178]

Pete face reveal. Let’s go!

[@TheMRNAILED]

"Whaaaaaats up, Laker Fans!"

[@Jay-zb7hj]

I have seen Pete before but still to this day I have always pictured him looking like a Filipino dude when I hear his voice 😅. I almost picture Darius’ face when I hear his voice haha. I’m Filipino btw 😅

[@nus630]

Gafford was available last year. Why didn't the FO go for him then? I think they were just asleep at the wheel.

[@jeremyjazwinski6349]

Off the cuff random question for Jovan, but have you ever had a different hairstyle ? Or you always went with the fade sides and high hair on top ?

[@davidwegner1302]

Finally

[@ed.g4711]

i was a month late, so this is how pete look like.

[@shadmalik5125]

Trading a unprotected first for gafford is wild

[@corythegreat323]

I don’t know why I thought Pete was some super jacked Brad Pitt lookin mofo😂😂😂😂

[@Commenting800]

I’m gonna pass out if they don’t get a real center before the season. 5 yrs of cheapening on the center position

[@henl.1548]

Omg I thought Pete was black this whole time 😂🥲😂

[@itspika1904]

Highly disagree with Grant's deal. Grant will be 34 by the end of his deal. He doesn't rebound and after that trade we are still behind the top4 in the West, so it only push us from a 7/8 seed to a 5/6. We still don't have a POA defender and our bench is even weaker than now. Most importantly, sending the 29 and 31 picks means sending picks that will happen in years after Bron, AD and Grant are playing in the team and they are all above 35. Nowadays, there are no big FAs swings and you need to get your superstars by trade or draft. Without those picks we can't do either. So basically, we are mortgaging our future from 2026 to at least 2031 for a small upgrade in 24 and 25. That's not enough for me and I think that's why, justifiably, Rob's holding those picks for the right guy. The right guy is someone that will play in the team after Bron and AD, hence bringing the "sustained Lakers excellence", and I agree with that. I think Dejounte Murray was worth both picks so it's a pity it didn't happened. But we MUST trade those picks for a guy that can carry the team after Bron and AD, not someone within the same window because that's a recipe to be multiple years without competing and no Laker fan want that.

[@jovanbuha]

It’s a fair counterpoint. I’m a bit higher on Grant and his potential impact than you are, but I get the skepticism. It could easily not work out or be worth it. I think if LA waits until the trade deadline, they could potentially get Portland to drop the ask to just one first-round pick, which is a significantly better deal. My larger point is I just don’t know if they’re going to get that type of player with two picks in the current marketplace. And if they don’t, I don’t think they have a real shot to win it all. A marginal upgrade - and I’d argue Grant is more than marginal - would at least nudge their minuscule odds closer to contention. I think LeBron and AD are worth investing in, even if it ultimately doesn’t pan out. But we’ll see. It appears to be trending more toward your argument.

[@paulparrinello2526]

I think this team will be a 500 team. They won’t make the play in. The reason is Pelinka didn’t pick up a bruising big and another good wing. They are 2 players away from being a great team!

[@brettboi3730]

Pete's voice does not match his face AT ALL lmao
