The NBA Summer League tipped off on Saturday with the California Classic getting underway in San Francisco, hosted by the Golden State Warriors. The Los
Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James is entering his sophomore season in the NBA and eyes some areas of improvement in his game. As a rookie, James spent most of his time in the G League, where he developed his game and acclimated to the physicality of the NBA.
Former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy is a big fan of Michael Jordan and LeBron James. However, Van Gundy thinks Jordan fans play a big part in why James gets so much hate. “LeBron’s gotten a little hate for a long time for a lot of different things,” Van Gundy told David Samson.
LeBron James has spent the last several years of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He moved to L.A. after his second stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Los Angeles Lakers recently signed center Deandre Ayton to a two-year deal, and while some might be skeptical, one former big man is confident that the move will pan out.
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to improve their roster this offseason so that they can compete for a title. Austin Reaves is a central figure in their plans.
Bronny James has plenty to prove before he can be trusted to be a role player in the NBA, and he knows it. The 20-year-old was able to get his first experience in the league as a rookie, but it mostly came during garbage time.
This offseason will again be nearly six months long for the Lakers faithful, given their first round playoff exit. The team earned the #3 seed in the regular season, but the Minnesota Timberwolves made short work of them.
Entering Year 2, all eyes were on Dalton Knecht as the Los Angeles Lakers kicked off their California Classic schedule against the host team the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center.
Dalton Knecht had a strong first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, parlaying his strong final season at Tennessee into a rotational role where he appeared in 78 games and averaged 9.1 points.
The Bronny James spectacle only took until the first day of NBA Summer League to start up again. The Los Angeles Lakers pulled a surprise move with their sophomore guard Bronny for Saturday’s Summer League opener at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif.
The center position has been a major topic of discussion for the Los Angeles Lakers throughout this offseason. The team has agreed to bring in Deandre Ayton on a two-year deal while also re-signing Jaxson Hayes to a one-year contract.
Deandre Ayton moved quickly to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers once he was able to pick a new team, and there was one major motivating factor for his decision.
Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest Los Angeles Lakers players of all time. He won three NBA titles, three Finals MVPS, an MVP, and a scoring title all while donning the purple and gold.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ goal in acquiring a center was for it to be one who would pair well with superstar guard Luka Doncic. While the guard can make anyone look good, he has usually worked best with an athletic, rim-running center and the team has found a great one in Deandre Ayton.
