The Lakers’ need for stability will have to begin on the court
If there was one certainty about the Lakers’ offseason, it was that change was coming. But no one could have expected change to this degree. With several players going out — namely team cornerstone LeBron James — and several coming in, the roster looks drastically different from what it did this time last year. Even with […]
Mike D’Antoni shared the story behind the memorable Kobe Bryant-Dwight Howard photo
There aren’t many great memories of the Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard era. What was supposed to be another title window opening for Bryant ended up being a season referred to as the Dwightmare. There was tension between Kobe and Dwight, players couldn’t stay healthy and it ended with a torn Achilles and a first-round […]
‘Dodgerizing’ of Lakers to continue until sale official
This offseason, it became increasingly clear that the Lakers and Dodgers were morphing into one brain trust. As more and more front office executives jumped from the baseball team to the purple and gold, it was clear that Walter envisioned a very collaborative approach between the two teams. And then, in seemingly the snap of […]
Tank rolls on for Sparks in loss to Mystics
After leading for much of the second half, the Sparks played out a similar pattern, conceding a big run to the Mystics in the fourth quarter on Saturday to fall, 80-70.

Ziaire Williams excited to team up with Bronny James again
Chemistry with this iteration of the Lakers will be an uphill challenge. Many of them have never played together and will need to learn one another quickly to succeed on the court.

Scouting Report: What should Lakers fans expect from Ziaire Williams?
After making their big swings this offseason, the Lakers made some low-risk, high-reward signings. Both came on the wing with one being Matisse Thybulle, a talented defensive player with injury questions and the other being Ziaire Williams.

Cameron Brink exits game vs. Liberty with rib injury
While the fourth quarter of Thursday’s game against the Liberty featured a lot of good — and craziness — there was a moment of bad mixed in as well. Midway through the quarter with LA in the middle of a 21-0 run, Cameron Brink took a shot to the ribs from Breanna Stewart. The play […]
Sparks nearly pull off incredible comeback, fall to Liberty
A wild, wild fourth quarter run saw the Sparks cut a 28-point deficit down to one point, but the Liberty held on for an 85-81 win. Through the first three quarters, the Sparks had 41 points before exploding for 40 in the fourth. Included in that was 21 unanswered points and a 26-4 run overall. […]
Bob Iger expected to be owner ‘most actively involved’ with Lakers
Given how pricey these NBA teams are getting, they are typically owned by a group of people with someone serving as the de facto face.

Monique Akoa Makani already making a mark with Sparks
With Kelsey Plum’s future with the Sparks being uncertain, the franchise made the bold decision to trade her to the Mercury at the deadline. In return, LA received Monique Akoa Makani and Phoenix’s 2027 first round pick. While Akoa Makani is not a guard of Plum’s caliber, she could be a better long-term fit. She […]
The Lakers’ new owner is an admitted longtime Clippers fan
In an ideal world, your favorite team would be owned by a lifelong fan who can keep the team competitive. But those types of fairytales don’t exist in reality. The best you can hope for is that your owner hasn’t gone on a podcast to talk about how he couldn’t root for your team because […]

From the moment news broke of the Lakers’ stunning sale on Wednesday, a giant elephant sat in the corner of the room.

Scouting Report: What should Lakers fans expect from Quentin Grimes?
While not the biggest gamble of the offseason, the Lakers certainly committed a lot of belief and money into Quentin Grimes.
