4 days ago | lakersdaily.com | Jesse Cinquini

With the Los Angeles Lakers clearly needing to improve at the center position next season, The Athletic’s Kelly Iko mentioned Houston Rockets big man Steven Adams as a potential target for the storied franchise this offseason.

NBA exec confident Bronny will have role with Lakers next year: ‘Going to be a regular for them’

As was the expectation heading into his inaugural NBA season, Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James didn’t get many opportunities for playing time in the big leagues as a rookie. He appeared in well under half of the Lakers’ 82 regular-season games — 27, to be exact — and averaged just 6.7 minutes of playing time per game on the rare occasions head coach J.J. Redick called his number.
'Can't make a damn shot': Danny Green says LeBron doesn’t put pressure on his teammates, but his fans do

All signs indicate that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been a consummate teammate throughout his NBA career, as he’s been great at playmaking and leading his teams to wins over the years while often making players around him better. But former NBA sharpshooter Danny Green, who played on the Lakers team that won the title in 2020, recently spoke about a potential downside of playing alongside arguably the greatest basketball player of all time.
2-time Lakers champion throws shade at team’s 2020 title: ‘Bubble gum ring’

1 week ago | lakersdaily.com | Jesse Cinquini

The Los Angeles Lakers won their most recent championship five years ago in 2020, but the 2020 NBA Playoffs weren’t conventional by any stretch. That year’s playoffs were held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and the setup was often referred to as the Orlando, Fla. bubble. Because of the different nature of the 2020 NBA Playoffs, some folks have talked down on the Lakers’ 2020 title over the years and put an asterisk next to that championship.
Paul Pierce questions Luka Doncic's mentality on defense: 'That's the issue with him, not his weight'

1 week ago | lakersdaily.com | Jesse Cinquini

For as great an offensive player as Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic has been ever since he set foot in the NBA, he has been on the receiving end of criticism throughout his career for his play on the other end of the floor. The fact that Doncic averaged 1.8 steals per game with the Lakers and Dallas Mavericks during the 2024-25 regular season doesn’t change that he has plenty of room for improvement on defense.
NBA insider tabs Lakers as potential sign-and-trade fit for Myles Turner

Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, and he could be a player that ends up on the Lakers radar. ESPN’s Kevin Pelton floated the idea of the Lakers executing a potential sign-and-trade deal for Turner to help fix their issues at the center position, even though the move may be tough to execute. “Turner has featured in trade rumors so long that he has been linked to just about every team in need of a starting center,” Pelton wrote.
Report: Austin Reaves expected to seek salary in $30 million range in next contract

1 week ago | lakersdaily.com | Jesse Cinquini

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has been criminally underpaid for a while now. He earned around $25 million in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons combined, and he’s set to earn fewer than $14 million in the upcoming 2025-26 campaign. Reaves’ affordability has been advantageous for the Lakers’ already-bloated payroll in recent years, but a report indicates that he won’t be one of the more underpaid players in the league for all that much longer.
Austin Reaves' agent sends warning amidst trade rumors: 'People really have no idea what’s to come'

1 week ago | lakersdaily.com | Jesse Cinquini

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has seen himself in plenty of trade rumors since the Lakers were eliminated in the opening round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, and at least one former NBA player thinks that Reaves is expendable with superstar floor general Luka Doncic in the fold. Former Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams said that the Lakers “don’t really need” Reaves after trading for Doncic and suggested the storied franchise move Reaves for a talented big man.
Rich Paul implies people have spewed misinformation regarding LeBron’s role in Westbrook trade

2 weeks ago | lakersdaily.com | Jesse Cinquini

The Los Angeles Lakers employed guard Russell Westbrook for a brief period. The storied franchise acquired the veteran when he was on the heels of averaging a triple-double with the Washington Wizards in the 2020-21 season, but the Lakers didn’t get that form of Westbrook during his stint with them. Westbrook proved to be a clunky fit alongside forward LeBron James and big man Anthony Davis, to put it mildly.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul has spoken about the topic of James’ eventual retirement before. When talking to NBA insider Shams Charania last year, he likened his client’s retirement situation to a plane landing in the sense that when he’s close to retiring, there will be a warning. More than a year after Paul made those remarks to Charania, he sat down with sports commentator Rich Eisen and gave some more thoughts on James’ retirement decision.
