THE VODCAST: START THE PRESSES –LEBRON JAMES IS HERE … AND L.A. IS REALIGNED

The Drill 07.02.18: And then, LeBron James became a Laker, and L.A. lived happily ever after.
Tom Hoffarth and Steve Lowery discuss that latest transaction, of course. Tom even spent the morning as a guest on “McIntyre In the Morning” on KABC-AM (790) discussing the ramifications of the decision.
Steve and Tom then get into the World Cup finishing up the Round of 16 — they watched the Mexico-Brazil contest on Monday morning in a Manhattan Beach bar (see Lowery connecting with a Mexico fan here at 7 a.m. after one of them — not Steve — celebrated the opening kick with a tequila shot), why penalty kicks determining an outcome isn’t cool, and what’s going on with the “Turn Ahead the Clock” Mariners/Royals uniforms.
Some references made in the show:
* The new Todd Radom book, “Winning Ugly,” about the history of baseball uniforms.
Running time: 44 minutes.
