Lakers' reject just became Suns' first addition since losing Kevin Durant

2 days ago | lakeshowlife.com | Jack Simone

The Phoenix Suns are trading for Mark Williams in their first big move since the Kevin Durant trade, bringing in the player that the Los Angeles Lakers decided to reject. The Phoenix Suns are trading the No. 29 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and a 2029 first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Mark Williams, a player the Los Angeles Lakers wanted to get their hands on (but decided not to) just a few months ago.

Seeing what the Phoenix Suns managed to get in the Kevin Durant trade somehow makes the Los Angeles Lakers look even more genius for the Luka Doncic deal. The Houston Rockets just made a huge trade for Kevin Durant, and somehow, the package they sent out makes the Los Angeles Lakers’ blockbuster trade for Luka Doncic look even more insane. Obviously, the Lakers shocked the world when they traded for Doncic, but comparing the Doncic haul to the Davis haul, it looks even crazier in hindsight.

Pelinka is going to have to change his strategy. It is shaping up to be a big offseason for the Los Angeles Lakers. With it being the first summer with Luka Doncic on the roster, there feels like a lot of pressure to build a winner around the franchise's new superstar. As Rob Pelinka looks to make moves in the coming months, he is going to have to avoid a fatal roster-building mistake that he's made in the past: Going after one-dimensional players.
Lakers could finally bring Draymond Green to LA in wild Giannis trade

1 week ago | lakeshowlife.com | Jack Simone

This proposed trade would see the Los Angeles Lakers land Draymond Green in a four-team deal that would send Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Golden State Warriors. In a crazy, four-team trade proposed by ESPN, the Los Angeles Lakers would finally bring Draymond Green on board, while the Golden State Warriors would get Giannis Antetokounmpo. Green, a good friend of LeBron James, could help anchor the Lakers’ defense next season, though the price would certainly be a bit steep.
Baffling Austin Reaves decision will haunt Lakers for years to come

1 week ago | lakeshowlife.com | Will Eudy

LA needs to consider trading Reaves. The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a pivotal offseason. They've just been granted one of the best players in the NBA a few short months ago in acquiring Luka Doncic, and now the name of the game should be constructing a better roster around number 77. If they are serious about doing that, they may want to consider trading Austin Reaves. If they keep their current philosophy of retaining Reaves no matter what, they will likely end up regretting it.

2 weeks ago | lakeshowlife.com | Jack Simone

Clint Capela isn't the right starting center target for the Los Angeles Lakers to target this summer. Despite his constant connection to the Los Angeles Lakers as a potential offseason target, Clint Capela is not the right guy to be their starting center. Anthony Irwin of ClutchPoints noted that he's rumored to be a potential target for LA.
Painfully obvious reason the Lakers should trade Rui Hachimura this offseason

2 weeks ago | lakeshowlife.com | Will Eudy

It's probably best for LA to move on. With this being the Los Angeles Lakers' first offseason with Luka Doncic on the roster, it's obvious that some changes are coming. The front office is going to work to build the team around their new best player, and not everyone from the previous regime is a perfect fit anymore. As the Lakers look to make their additions and subtractions, one thing becomes relatively clear: It's time to trade Rui Hachimura.
