About this episode
Gil's Arena Expects BIG THINGS From LeBron James, JJ Redick & The Los Angeles Lakers as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew preview the 2024 NBA Season and kick things off with the most important team in association. They break down the team's lackluster offseason that saw no major moves beyond the hiring of JJ Redick & drafting of Bronny James and debate if a healthy Lakers team is good enough to compete with the top teams in the NBA's Western Conference. Next, they move over to another historic franchise coming off a disappointing offseason in the Golden State Warriors as the former dynasty lost Klay Thompson & missed out on Lauri Markkanen, leaving Steph Curry & Draymond Green on an island for the first time in their careers, inspiring a debate on if the Dubs have done enough to maintain a roster good enough keep Steph in the Bay for the rest of career. Finally, No Chill Gil & The Crew celebrate the fast approaching NBA Season by breaking down the recently released Christmas Games Schedule and give their predictions over who will be a part of the 2028 Olympic Team looking to lead Team USA to another Gold Medal.
