Latest news and updates about the Lakers
The Cleveland Cavaliers have made their deal with the Los Angeles Clippers official. James Harden is heading to Cleveland, Darius Garland to Los Angeles. Cavs’ president of basketball operations, Koby Altman, released a statement about the shocking trade. First, he spoke about trading for Harden: “James Harden has cemented himself as an all-time great in […]
The NBA continues to get softer as a league. Apparently, it’s now a punishable offense if you push a mascot, and the league is using Jaxson Hayes as an example. He will be suspended for one game without pay for pushing the Wizards’ mascot, G-Wiz, during pre-game introductions. The Lakers went on to win that […]
It’s been over a month since Austin Reaves played in a Lakers game due to his calf strain, and he was just as eager to return as fans were to watch him play. He finally came back for LA’s contest against Brooklyn and played well while on a minutes restriction. Reaves began the contest on […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have made the biggest move of the trade deadline so far, and could be looking to make more.

As the NBA threatens to get upended around them by Thursday’s trade deadline, the Lakers have been quiet thus far. Rumors about a potential Rui Hachimura/De’Andre Hunter swap quickly petered out when the Cleveland Cavaliers sent Hunter to the Sacramento Kings instead. Beyond that, it’s mostly been the usual rumbles about the Lakers wanting New […]
In a fairly rare occurrence, there is a superstar on the trade market and the Lakers are a complete non-factor. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s trade demand has finally come and the Lakers, in their current situation, have nothing competitive to offer relative to other teams across the league. As a result, there have been no links — […]

It’s trade deadline week. You know, that special time of year where the actual basketball games being played seem to fall into the backdrop of wider league news regarding player movement. Today’s involved Danny Ainge adding a new skyscraper to the Salt Lake skyline, beards suddenly becoming stylish in The Land, and the leaders of […]
The Lakers closed their road trip in style, dominating the Nets from start to finish on Tuesday en route to a 125-109 win. The Lakers scored 45 points in the first quarter, 69 in the first half and built up a 39-point lead before the break. Predictably, the second half was little more than conditioning […]

The Lakers are a flawed team. That’s not even a hot take. After an early exit out of the playoffs last season, this team looks headed for a similar, perhaps even identical, path.
