The Golden State Warriors are struggling mightily right now, and you have to say that Klay Thompson’s poor start to the season has a lot to do with this fact. You can definitely argue that Thompson has played in just 12 games this season and that the sample size remains small, but it still does […]

Despite the fact that they still aren’t winning too many games, it’s hard to deny that the Los Angeles Lakers are looking like a better team right now than they were when they started the season. This has a lot to do with the significant improvement of Russell Westbrook since he was moved to the […]

It’ has been another season shrouded in storm clouds for the Los Angeles Lakers. Lonnie Walker IV, however, is providing an energizing ray of sunshine while helping the Lakers “dance through the rain.” The 23-year-old shooting guard is averaging 16.5 points (6.8 above his career average) in 31 minutes per game. He’s shooting 47.2% from […]

LeBron James isn’t only one of the best basketball players to ever play the sport. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar excels in pretty much everything he does, which apparently, includes NFL Madden as well. During The Shop’s coverage of TNF, LeBron came out with an audacious claim about the Los Angeles Rams stealing his Madden playbook […]

When it comes to football, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has plenty of opinions. During an episode of The Shop, the four-time league MVP said that his favorite NFL player is Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry while watching Thursday Night Football’s game between the Titans and Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers […]

The moment De’Aaron Fox decided to join Klutch Sports, you just knew that rumors about a looming move to the Los Angeles Lakers were going to pop up. After all, the young Kings star just signed for superagent Rich Paul, who as we all know, is one of LeBron James’ real-life BFFs. As it turns […]

Right now, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Green Bay Packers have a few things in common. Apart from having a generational talent on their roster, both of these teams are struggling to find success in their respective leagues, albeit to varying degrees. LeBron and the The Shop crew were providing live commentary for Thursday night’s […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, amid his team’s struggles on the court, has been preparing for his future beyond his playing days. At 37 years old (set to turn 38 in late December), James doesn’t have long left in his playing days, so he is now turning his attention to what he might be […]

NBA icon Paul Pierce thinks seven teams are already locked for the playoffs in the Western Conference, though his list noticeably didn’t include the Golden State Warriors,  Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers. On Twitter, Pierce said that he sees the Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers […]

Reinforcements are on the way for the Los Angeles Lakers. According to head coach Darvin Ham — confirming expectations over the past week — point guard Dennis Schroder and center Thomas Bryant will make their 2022-23 debuts on Friday night against the Detroit Pistons at Crypto.com Arena. Schroder and Bryant have both been out since […]

LeBron James will be listed as questionable for the Los Angeles Lakers matchup with the Detroit Pistons on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena, according to the team. LeBron has missed the past two games with a strained left adductor, which occurred in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 9. Sans LeBron, the […]

For the second straight season, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves on the outside looking in on the Western Conference playoff picture. There’s still much basketball to be played, but all early signs point to the possibility of the Lakers squandering another year of LeBron James’ career. The team has just a 3-10 record, the second-worst […]

Three games past the statistical threshold for when net rating and win percentage kinda matter, the 3-10 Los Angeles Lakers have, self-evidently, a “laundry list” of issues. The roster is shallow on talent. Russell Westbrook’s move to the bench has been productive, but he still frustrates teammates with decision-making, wants to close alongside LeBron James […]

Based on Anthony Davis’ latest comments on his injured Los Angeles Lakers teammates Dennis Schroder and Thomas Bryant, it looks like the two are really ready to play. The two have been listed as probable for Friday’s game against the Detroit Pistons after some time on the sidelines. They returned to practice on Wednesday, and […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley admits he received a death threat after his role in Russell Westbrook’s injury back in 2013. To recall, before Beverley and Westbrook became Lakers teammates this 2022, they had a longstanding beef. And it all started in April 2013 during the playoffs when Beverley was still with the Houston […]

Are the Los Angeles Lakers working on a trade for Buddy Hield? Well that could be the case after Rob Pelinka was spotted traveling to Indiana while Hield sent a rather cryptic tweet. Twitter users were quick to connect the dots about the recent string of events, especially with Hield’s tweet seemingly indicating he received […]

Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism of late. Some fans have been quick to blame the high-ranking executive for the Lakers’ early-season woes. In their minds, Pelinka’s refusal (or inability) to pull the trigger on a significant trade deal is the main reason […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are having a horrid start to the season. LeBron James is currently day-to-day with a groin injury. It’s been so bad there have been rumors the Lakers might blow it all up. So much so, that even James’ name came up in the media as a possibility of getting moved. But […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James previously came out with some pretty contentious comments about learning how to flop. The four-time NBA champ was complaining about how foul calls weren’t going in his favor during games, which prompted his admission about potentially performing acting jobs in order to get the referees’ attention. LeBron’s statement was […]

Amid the Los Angeles Lakers’ struggles to win and his struggles with back tightness, Anthony Davis got off to an impressive start to the 2022-23 season. AD’s first six games amounted to arguably his best stretch of two-way basketball since the bubble. He averaged 23.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, and 2.2 steals. He mitigated […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were in desperate need of a win on Sunday night. The LeBron James-less side delivered just that against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets, marking just their third victory in 13 games. Lonnie Walker had another noteworthy performance for the Lakers, scoring 25 points on a very efficient 9-of-15 shooting, to […]

According to reports, De’Aaron Fox has decided to cut ties with his current sports agency, Family First Sports Firm, in favor of a high-profile move to Klutch Sports. The Sacramento Kings star now joins Rich Paul’s star-studded list of clients, which is headlined by none other than the one and only LeBron James. Fox said […]

The Victor Wembanyama hype train is in full steam right now. The last time there was this much hype surrounding a projected first-overall pick in an upcoming draft was probably back in 2019 when the New Orleans Pelicans ended up landing Zion Williamson. At this point, the possibility of the Pels getting their hands on […]

The Los Angeles Lakers might’ve grabbed a much-needed victory on Sunday over the Brooklyn Nets, but they still sit at a putrid 3-10 on the season. That’s resulted in lots of rumblings about the organization going out and improving their roster immediately, but it appears that won’t happen quite yet. Why? Because the front office […]

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have never shied away from one another since Durant left Oklahoma City six years ago. The duo has faced off 11 times since the split. The latest came Sunday night with the Los Angeles Lakers claiming a 116-103 wire-to-wire win over the Brooklyn Nets. Durant and Westbrook spent eight seasons […]

Dennis Schroder and Thomas Bryant are expected to play on Friday, per FanDuel TV and Shams Charania. Charania added that LeBron James could return on Friday or Sunday for the Los Angeles Lakers. The return of Schroder will be especially important for the Lakers. He was re-signed by LA for guard-depth purposes and is someone who […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ recent hot streak came to an end on Sunday in a 116-103 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. In hilarious fashion, Patrick Beverley partly took credit for the victory, saying he set the tone by guarding Kevin Durant which resulted in LA responding. Well, it didn’t take long for the Nets star […]

LeBron James was not able to suit up and face Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, as he was sidelined with a left adductor strain injury. It was another missed opportunity for basketball fans to witness two of the greatest players ever share the floor and go at each other. Following the game, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. The team saw a number of impressive individual performances throughout the game. But according to Patrick Beverley, he was the one who set the tone. “Sh*t, me guarding KD (Kevin Durant)! Y’all didn’t see that? That was the key from the beginning,” Beverley said. “I […]

Anthony Davis is from Chicago and didn’t grow up caring about the NFL. Yet, early in his NBA career, while a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, he became a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan due to friendships he made. So much so, in fact, that Los Angeles Lakers fans should probably adopt the Cheeseheads […]

The Los Angeles Lakers destroyed Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in their first meeting of the season on Sunday, and it’s thanks in large part to Anthony Davis. With LeBron James still sidelined due to an adductor injury, Davis carried much of the workload to lead the Lakers to the 116-103 win. More than […]

Even Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was in awe of the wild finish between the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings this Week 10. Well, to be fair, who wouldn’t be? The Vikings pulled off an improbable comeback on Sunday afternoon after trailing 27-10 late in the third quarter. While Minnesota won in overtime via […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue their Southern California swing as they face off with the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com arena. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series and deliver a Nets-Lakers prediction and pick. The Nets took down the Los Angeles Clippers 110-95 on Saturday night. Kevin Durant scored 27 points to lead the Nets. Additionally, […]

LeBron James’ injury status with the Los Angeles Lakers has been upgraded, but it won’t really put a smile on the faces of their fans. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, while James missed Friday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers forward has not been ruled out for Sunday’s showdown with the Brooklyn Nets. […]

At this point in the season, there aren’t too many things to be happy about for Los Angeles Lakers fans. Perhaps the only silver lining in what has been a horrendous start to the season is the fact that it’s still early on. There’s still a lot of time to turn things around, and right […]

Despite the fact that the Los Angeles Lakers lost their 10th game of the season on Friday, there’s no denying that this team has still made some sort of progress at this point in the campaign. It’s obviously not enough for them to get some much-needed wins, but at least there’s some sort of silver […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are already considered by many as a dark horse this season. This is thanks in large part to the return of Zion Williamson, who missed all of last year due to a lingering foot injury. Now, just imagine how this team would look like if they were able to land Victor […]

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered another disappointing loss on Friday night as they fell to the Sacramento Kings, 120-114, at the Crypto.com Arena. This represented LA’s 10th loss of the season, with their current record having just two wins to show for thus far. Austin Reaves actually had one of his best games of the […]
