   Yolanda Marchetti-VossHank, darling, a yacht is just a press room that floats. And what Redick did is textbook. He didn't blame anyone, he redistributed the narrative.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe redistributed it onto his own players. Is that not just blaming them?

   Yolanda Marchetti-VossBetween us, and everyone watching, it's a rollout. You dab, you reframe, you let the teammates carry the weight. They're professionals. They have shoulders.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe shoulders have agents.

   Yolanda Marchetti-VossAnd the agents will thank me. Every miss Bronny takes is brand awareness, Hank. People are saying his name, and that is the whole business.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThey're saying it because he's struggling. Let me ask you plainly: did you write that excuse for the coach?

   Yolanda Marchetti-VossI can neither confirm nor deny. Between us, I drafted a lovely paragraph on a napkin in August, and I'm told napkins travel.

    Yolanda Marchetti-VossMonogrammed, like this towel. Frankly, I've already prepared a statement thanking the teammates for their service, and I'd love the Lakers to sign it.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou'd thank them for being thrown under a bus. I'm asking you who actually benefits from that bus.

13. YM

    Yolanda Marchetti-VossThe bus, Hank. The bus is my client, and it has never looked better.
