Offseason transformations have become the norm for players from around the NBA this summer. As it turns out, however, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is taking a different approach.

The Los Angeles Lakers have embraced the NBA’s version of senior living: they currently have 10 players on their roster who are 32 or older.

During a lengthy and substantive conversation on Spectrum’s “LakeShow” podcast, Vogel discussed […]

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel is expecting a big 2021-22 season from Anthony Davis.

Vogel hopped on Spectrum’s “LakeShow” podcast on Wednesday and shed some light on AD’s apparent physical transformation this […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has had a busy offseason.

And of course, he spent time with his family and attended Davis’ wedding. And now that the […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony David earned his second ring on Saturday during his posh wedding held in Beverly Hills, California.

The Los Angeles Lakers undoubtedly have the widest gap in terms of offseason projections around the league. Some see them as the clear favorites, with two former MVPs in LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, plus a perennial contender in Anthony Davis joining forces with a veteran supporting cast. But others are more astutely noting the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had a massive retooling of their roster. They traded and let go of multiple players to get new ones.

Rich Paul has reportedly told other agents that LeBron James and Anthony Davis will move up to the four and five spots, respectively, in the coming 2021-22 NBA season.

Anthony Davis is one of the best big men in the NBA and is often considered a Top 5 talent. However, for Richard Jefferson, that is the biggest disrespect the Los Angeles Lakers star can get. In a recent appearance on Gilbert Arenas’ No Chill podcast, the former Cleveland Cavaliers forward and one-time champion alongside […]

It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers failed miserably in their quest to defend their title last season.

[…]

New Los Angeles Lakers center DeAndre Jordan didn’t have a hard time choosing the Purple and Gold after the Brooklyn Nets parted ways with him. After all, the chance to play alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis and contend for a championship is definitely alluring. For Jordan, there’s also the added bonus of getting to […]

The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers roster is, finally, nearly complete. Remarkably, after the departure of Marc Gasol, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Talen Horton-Tucker look like they’ll be the only returning pieces from last season, barring a belated re-signing of Wesley Matthews (which would be smart, by the way). Los Angeles is the oldest and […]

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma has always liked to joke around. In fact, it’s his loose character that has also earned him plenty of criticisms, saying he’s not focused enough to improve and be an NBA superstar like his fellow young studs. On Sunday, Kuzma once again messed around, posting on Twitter to take a […]

DeAndre Jordan was all smiles in a recent interview as he shared his thoughts on his recent move to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Apparently, AD went out of his […]

Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis’ performance last season was disappointing, at least based on his standards.

Rajon Rondo is officially back with the Los Angeles Lakers, joining other guys rewinding it with the squad, including Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza and Wayne Ellington. In the first place, Rondo shouldn’t have been released last season, especially after being an integral piece to the Lakers’ title run in the NBA Bubble. While many people […]

The moment Anthony Davis left the New Orleans Pelicans, his relationship with the franchise and its fanbase instantly became rocky. During his first game back in Louisiana, Anthony Davis received a chorus of boos from fans still stung by his departure. Anthony Davis introduced to the SKC as a starter tonight. Here was the fan […]

The NBA season saw a whole host of players who raised their stock and perception around the league. Take Devin Booker, for example, as the two-time All-Star has successfully proven that he can score as well or even better in the biggest of stages, silencing the “empty stats” argument. Similarly, Trae Young, who wasn’t even […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have a couple of glaring problems on their roster. They got even further away from solving those problems with the reportedly imminent Rajon Rondo signing. After being bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies, the 15-year NBA veteran was immediately linked to a return to the Lakers. While on paper they add […]

Jared Dudley wanted to return to the Los Angeles Lakers for a 15th NBA season. LeBron James and Anthony Davis did, too.

If we’re counting accolades, the Los Angeles Lakers have a completely stacked roster with multiple future Hall of Famers. With their addition of an 8-time All-Star, they’re setting up for a huge bounce back season. But that’s not Russell Westbrook or Carmelo Anthony, that’s Dwight Howard. Howard has fallen very far off his once lofty […]

As 2021 Free Agency simmers out, the Los Angeles Lakers have three open roster spots — and many more questions than answers. Vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka spent early August utterly retooling the team around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Los Angeles acquired a ball-dominant third star, Russell Westbrook, who looks like an […]

Everyone said it couldn’t be done. Los Angeles Lakers fans were supposedly back at it again with their delusions that they could actually add a marquee star like Damian Lillard or Chris Paul on their roster. The photoshopped jersey swaps were widespread and had Lakers fans lusting over the possibilities.  The slander subsequently poured in […]

Growing up in Los Angeles, Russell Westbrook dreamt of winning championships for the Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is clearly hyped for his new Big 3 squad with Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook.
