The Lakers took a lot of the buzz out of Friday’s NBA Cup group play finale with their victory over the Clippers on Tuesday.

In the right situation on the right team he could prove to be very valuable. That team might even be the Boston Celtics (thus 30 […]

For some time now, retirement has felt like a very real possibility for LeBron James. He is currently in the last year of his Lakers contract and he didn’t ask for an extension, a break from the norm in his Lakers tenure. LeBron hasn’t flat-out stated he’d play next year or that this is his […]

After losing Deandre Ayton at halftime, the Lakers needed someone to step up in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Jazz. Few people likely expected Maxi Kleber to be that player.
