The Los Angeles Lakers’ roster has undergone some major changes from last season. LeBron James isn’t returning and the team has also lost a number of role players in Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart and others.
LeBron James appears to be closing in on a decision. Or if he’s already decided, an announcement on his next NBA destination. Speaking Monday on ESPN’s NBA Today, NBA insider Shams Charania said the free-agent process has reached the point where just about every contender has made its case.
The Los Angeles Lakers made a big investment in center Walker Kessler, acquiring him from the Utah Jazz via a sign-and-trade as they believe he is the ideal big man to pair with their star backcourt of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
The Los Angeles Lakers announced they have signed center Kevon Looney to a one-year contract that is reported to be worth $3.9 million. It will go on the books as a veteran minimum deal for the Lakers.
At the end of the game or in other big moments, it's usually the team's stars who have the ball. Sometimes, though, it's the role players who get the chance to shine and deliver.
LeBron James and his camp have always been extremely intentional about everything they say and do. Considering that, did the superstar's agent recently drop a hint about his next destination?
During his eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James won a championship, established himself as the all-time scoring king, achieved several other milestones, shared the court with his son and defied Father Time like no NBA player before him.
Even after leaving the franchise, LeBron James can inadvertently influence roster decisions. The Los Angeles Lakers wasted little time in using the $50 million in cap space after the four-time NBA champion’s exit.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
Summer League is fun to watch because unproven players can make a name for themselves, and it appears the Los Angeles Lakers may have a few doing exactly that this year.
The Los Angeles Lakers have had an extremely active NBA offseason, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. The Lakers are still heavily involved in the NBA rumor mill, with multiple trades still being able to take place.
The Los Angeles Lakers have gotten off to a great start in the Las Vegas Summer League, picking up two dominant wins thus far against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks.
A new report suggests LeBron James might be hesitating on a move, and it all centers around Joel Embiid. The main news hit the wire on July 13 when NBA insider Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson shared an update on the situation.
Years after his sudden departure from the Los Angeles Lakers, Magic Johnson looked back at a key moment he wishes he had handled differently. When executives leave their positions, there are usually early signs.
LeBron James hasn’t said a word. Everyone else has. Over the past couple of days, a steady stream of reports from around the NBA has painted perhaps the clearest picture yet of where his free agency stands.
The Los Angeles Lakers have a few intriguing players on their NBA Summer League squad who have already started to turn heads in Las Vegas. Although a lot of attention has been given to Lakers rookie Cameron Carr, who has played well thus far, Adou Thiero seems to be the star attraction.
The Los Angeles Lakers announced that they have signed sixth-year guard Austin Reaves. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is reported to be a four-year contract worth $185 million with a player option in the final season, which is the max money he could sign for.
With rookie guard Cameron Carr unavailable due to a right thumb contusion, Arthur Kaluma rose to the occasion, scoring a game-high 34 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 91-70 win over the Dallas Mavericks in NBA Summer League action on Saturday.
The Los Angeles Lakers have made it clear that improving their perimeter defense is one of their biggest priorities left this offseason. While the front office is looking at ways to add defensive-minded wings, second-year forward Adou Thiero believes that the solution remains in-house.
