Bronny James says he’s been working on off-ball offense this summer
While the Lakers have lots of new faces joining the franchise this season, one of the more intriguing players returning is Bronny James. The only real discussion about him this offseason is whether or not he’d be used as a trade pawn before or after his father’s free agency decision. Once it became clear the […]
The Buss family drama isn’t going away anytime soon
I hope everyone was buckled up for the long haul with the Buss family. On Friday, Jeanie Buss filed for a continuance in the petition to stop her siblings’ sale of their stake in the Lakers, pushing the hearing back to Dec. 8. Originally, the court date was scheduled for November. In the petition, which […]
Sparks to hire Sixers exec Ariana Andonian as general manager
In a bit of surprising news given the lack of rumors or reports around it, the Sparks have made a big hire. Following a search led by Farhan Zaidi, special advisor to owner Mark Walter, LA will hire Sixers vice president of player personnel Ariana Andonian as the team’s new general manager, as reported by […]
Can Cameron Carr make an immediate impact?
Welcome to our Lakers Season Preview Series! For the next several weeks, we’ll be writing columns every weekday breaking down the biggest questions we have about every player the Lakers added this offseason. Today, we look at Cameron Carr. If you rule out Dalton Knecht’s hot start in his rookie campaign before petering out pretty […]
Lakers employees were turned off by ‘arrogance’ of Dodgers’ approach
There’s no question that the Dodgers’ approach to baseball has been successful. Under Mark Walter, the team has morphed into a dynasty. It made sense, then, to try to replicate that approach with the Lakers once he took charge. However, it wasn’t exactly a smooth process attempting to do so. Call it reluctance by the […]
Is there a pathway to minutes for Chris Mañon, Arthur Kaluma this season?
Welcome to our Lakers Season Preview Series! For the next several weeks, we’ll be writing columns every weekday breaking down the biggest questions we have about every player the Lakers added this offseason. Today, we start with a look at the team’s three two-way players, Chris Mañon, Arthur Kaluma and AK Okereke. Throughout his brief […]
The Lakers’ front office appears to be stuck in limbo amid ownership change
Ideally, you don’t want an ownership change to come right in the middle of a restructuring of a front office and franchise philosophy. It tends to cause some issues. The Lakers find themselves in an awkward position. The Dodgerizing of the front office was well underway when Mark Walter abruptly sold the team to Bob […]
Lon Rosen still heavily involved in meetings with Lakers
When Lon Rosen was hired by the Lakers, it was one of the clearest signs of the collaboration between Mark Walter’s LA-based franchises. Rosen was Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for over 10 years with the Dodgers before crossing the bridge to become the Lakers’ President of Business Operations. It was one of […]
Bruce Brown ‘in the mix’ for the Lakers
Jonathan Kuminga’s decision to sign with the Wolves left the Lakers with a glaring hole in the front court. The discussion around it has largely ranged from making a trade to internal options. Little thought has been given to the free agent market, largely because the Lakers aren’t in a position to sign one with […]

It’s a big day for Silver Screen and Roll. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Lakers. Want to stay up to date on the latest rumors about a middling free agent with a crazy agent? Need to catch up on the highlights of Luka Dončić’s crazy […]
Sandro Mamukelashvili, Georgia rally in second half to down Portugal
The Lakers got an indirect win over the Celtics on Monday. Sandro Mamukelashvili’s Georgia side pieced together a big second half to overcome a double-digit deficit and knock off Portugal and Celtics big man Neemias Queta, 98-90. Any win over Boston is a good win. Portugal jumped ahead in the first half and led for […]
Collin Sexton brings much needed scoring off the bench
Parting ways with every free agent not named Austin Reaves this summer opened up positions across the roster. Shot creation and guard threats were thin behind the backcourt, leading them to come to terms with Collin Sexton on a two-year, $19 million deal. He brings a dynamic scoring punch and a much-needed on-ball operator off […]
Sparks pick up second straight win in blowout over Storm
The Sparks will head into the FIBA World Cup break with momentum after winning back-to-back games following a 90-74 win over the Storm on Saturday. With the victory, LA has won three of the last four games. Against Seattle, they jumped ahead with the first 13 points of the game and never looked back, holding […]
Are the Lakers set up to be the most disappointing team this season?
It’s no question that the Lakers made a big gamble this summer. Gone is not just LeBron James, but the entire starting five for most of the team’s series against the Rockets, which they won in six games. In are not just a lot of fresh faces, but a lot of unexpected names. The Lakers […]
Should NBA fans be concerned about repeated ownership upheaval?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Lakers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. With the sports world experiencing an unusual wave of team sales, most notably the Lakers, fans are understandably […]
Second-half rally sends Sparks past Mystics
A second-half comeback by the Sparks saw them overturn a 17-point deficit to come away with an 88-82 over the Mystics on Friday. Rae Burrell scored all but three of her 15 points in the final frame as the hosts outscored Washington 23-14 in the fourth and 48-31 in the second half. LA turned 17 […]
Sandro Mamukelashvili shines as Georgia routs Montenegro in FIBA World Cup qualifying
Sandro Mamukelashvili and Georgia opened up the second round of FIBA World Cup qualifying on Friday with a thoroughly dominant win over Montenegro, 101-74. Georgia never trailed in the game and led for all but 13 seconds of the contest. Mamu was at the center of much of that great play, finishing with 17 points, […]
5 players the Lakers could target for their final starting spot
As underwhelming an option as he may have been, the Lakers’ chase for Jonathan Kuminga felt like a necessary one given the hole in their starting lineup. His decision to spurn purple and gold for the Wolves, then, leaves that hole in the starting lineup unfilled. With about a month until training camp opens, the […]
What’s next for the Lakers after missing out on Jonathan Kuminga?
Typically, August is considered the real dog days of summer in the NBA with news and rumors at a premium while everyone resets for a new season. This has been far from the norm. Between all the drama about who is and isn’t selling their stake in the team and the much more recent news […]
The Lakers have found a locked in starter in Quentin Grimes
Even after a 53-win season and a first-round victory without Luka Dončić, the Lakers braintrust determined it was time to scrap the roster and start over. President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka’s highly anticipated 2026 summer with space and flexibility arrived. Players with massive roles last season left unceremoniously in free agency, leaving behind vital […]
How Jonathan Kuminga overplayed his hand in free agency
At long last, the Jonathan Kuminga Free Agent Saga 2: Electric Boogaloo is over. As ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported Wednesday, Kuminga agreed to sign a two-year, $12.4 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Notably, he bypassed a far larger offer from the Lakers “to have more control of his future and possibly jump back […]
Jeanie Buss files petition to block family’s sale of Lakers
If I had a nickel for every time Jeanie Buss took her family to court, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s odd that it’s happened twice. Jeanie has officially filed a petition to block the family’s sale of the Lakers, a move that became public on Tuesday. It’s the second time […]
Jonathan Kuminga signs two-year, $13 million deal with Wolves
The long, long wait is over as Jonathan Kuminga has finally made a decision this offseason. Unfortunately for the Lakers, he will not be coming to Los Angeles. Despite it seemingly being one of the best options available, Kuminga opted not to join the purple and gold, instead signing with Wolves, according to Shams Charania […]
Joey, Jesse Buss buy stake in San Diego Padres
Joey and Jesse Buss didn’t take long to find their way back into sports franchise ownership. On Wednesday, the Buss brothers announced they had joined the San Diego Padres ownership group. Shortly before finalizing the sale of their majority stake in the Lakers to Mark Walter last year, the brothers created Buss Sports Capital to […]
Jonathan Kuminga prefers Lakers over Wolves, decision expected soon
We may finally, mercifully, be nearing the end of Jonathan Kuminga Watch. First, the list of teams he can even sign with is dwindling. Second, the season is actually approaching. If he wants to play this season, he’ll have to join a team soon. Seemingly, his options are the Lakers and the Wolves. On either […]
