The Sedano & Kap Morning Show

It's a Windy Wednesday for the Sedano and Kap YouTube hour ... and the ball knowers dive into what's next in the offseason for the Lakers after getting swept by the Thunder in the second round. Do you give Austin Reaves the max? Do you pay LeBron James? The Lindsey Segment! Producer Lindsey asks Windy about maximizing travel perks like miles and points, which opens a can of worms for Windy! He explains in detail how to get the best bang for your buck when flying and whether chasing a status is a good idea. Kap’s Dealer’s Choice presented by Sellers Advantage - which is about P1 listener Armand’s super yacht and how he hopes to have it gifted to him in his will. Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys kicked off the hour with birthdays for Darius Rucker and Dennis Rodman - with a funny story about Sedano’s viral moment with him. They pivot to the big story: Dave McMenamin's ESPN piece on LeBron feeling disrespected by the Lakers organization. Kap honed in on the key anecdote from Dave’s piece - the night LeBron broke the all-time wins record, Rob Pelinka gave the game ball to JJ Redick for his 100th coaching win instead, leaving LeBron feeling taken for granted. Brian Windhorst joins the guys live and said both sides are waiting for the other to move first - the Lakers want LeBron to come back on a team-friendly deal, LeBron wants to hear a real offer that shows they actually want him, and right now nobody's blinking. Windy tries to dissect exactly what a realistic LeBron contract even looks like and whether the Lakers can afford to keep all three guys. Learn more about your ad choices.

The crew kicked off Windy Wednesday with Kap and Morales recapping their night at Dodger Stadium, starting with the real story: Kap's poop turned blue from the food-colored tortillas at the Lowe's Level taqueria. The blue toilet talk gave way to a bigger Dodger frustration - Max Muncie didn't challenge a borderline called strike three with the bases loaded in a high-leverage spot, and both guys couldn't let it go. They talked about the Dodgers game more broadly: Yamamoto gave up 3 homers, the offense was flat, and Ohtani hit one out - but only after Kap brought back his Ohtani Trump impression on air the day before. Sedano played a clip from Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick's press conference - specifically the part about having "3 QBs" in LeBron, Luka, and Austin Reaves - and broke down how that trio finally started clicking in March once LeBron sat out and figured out his role by watching.

How many moves would the Lakers have to make to close the gap with OKC? Berg says that based on the reports that Luka wants Austin Reaves back, looking at the rest of the team, they’re basically running it back. The crew gets into the nitty gritty of the Lakers roster and goes through each player not under contract next year and whether they should bring them back. They get back to what Dave McMenamin said yesterday about how it doesn’t necessarily have to be LeBron vs Austin coming back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Evan Cohen joined. Sedano called the Lakers season a success given everything. Cohen pushed back - championship or bust always applies to this team and this player. One word for LeBron's Lakers tenure: Sedano said "success," Cohen said "dramatic," Kap said "relevant." Debated whether last night was his final game in purple and gold. Is Luka + Reaves enough to compete in the West next year without a third star? Who initiates the LeBron divorce - Lakers or LeBron? Kap says the Lakers under new ownership, thinking long-term around Luka. Sedano says LeBron listens to offers and could walk on his own. Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys start the show off reacting to the Lakers' elimination loss. Morales leaned into the chaos and storylines ahead. Sedano and Kap gave the Lakers credit for fighting to the end against a clearly better OKC team and Bergman is sad. Sure, the Lakers got swept - but they were sooo close! Did you think they had it? Is there a world in which they could/should have won? JJ Redick was very reflective in his postgame press conference, and both Sedano and Kap have thoughts on what he said. Sedano made the case that JJ Redick is the best Lakers coach of the last three because he actually coaches instead of managing egos. Dodgers talk!

JJ basically threw the kitchen sink at the Thunder and Sedano understands why - but is he getting too desperate? Austin Reaves has tended to struggle in the playoffs which has Kap convinced that he’s just not built for the postseason and belabors the point. Tonight could be LeBron’s last game ever as a Laker! Does everyone think he’s truly gonna go out like this?? Kap has a theory that maybe OKC will “give” the Lakers and “the old man” LeBron Game 4 at home. If the Lakers’ season does end tonight and it’s time to turn the page, what do the Lakers do with LeBron and Reaves? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
