Jeanie Buss vs. Lebron and the Knicks are STRUGGLING

from Heat Check with Trysta Krick · host The 8 Side

On this episode of the Heat Check, Trysta unpacks the explosive Baxter Holmes report detailing the growing tension inside the Lakers organization before Jeanie Buss' departure. From frustrations with LeBron James and Klutch Sports’ influence to the lingering fallout of the Russell Westbrook trade, Trysta breaks down how deep the power struggle in Los Angeles really runs and how the Lakers even considered moving on from LeBron. She also checks in on the Knicks, who are in the middle of a brutal skid, losing nine of their last ten games. What’s going wrong under Mike Brown, do they have real fixes available, and is this roster built to survive adversity? Plus, why isn’t ESPN fully using the iconic Inside the NBA crew? Trysta reacts to Charles Barkley’s public frustration. To close, a feel-good check-in on the Kings and undrafted standout Dylan Cardwell bringing positive energy to Sacramento.
