Lakers considered ‘likely suitor’ for Mitchell Robinson
It’s the worst-kept secret in the NBA that the Lakers are in search of a big man. Not only is LA’s need for a center obvious to anyone who watched them this past season, but with Luka Dončić reportedly asking for an upgrade at that spot, the focus on that position has only increased. So […]
The Lakers drafted the exact archetype they need in Cameron Carr
Hours before the second round of the NBA draft, the Lakers came to terms with Austin Reaves on a max four-year extension.

Sparks overwhelmed by Tempo in blowout loss
The depleted Sparks were completely flat on all cylinders on Thursday, leading to a 125-97 loss to the Tempo. A slow start, plenty of fouls and poor defense led to disaster for LA.

Austin Reaves’ new $185-million deal guarantees him a deal richer than any undrafted player has ever received.

Pistons were planning ‘real run’ at Austin Reaves in free agency
Austin Reaves got his big payday from the Lakers, who forked over $185 million over the next four years to retain him. It was always the expectation that Reaves would re-sign with the team.

Cameron Carr gives Lakers injection of athleticism
Before a draft pick was ever made, NBA commissioner Adam Silver laid out why this day was important for every franchise. “Every pick matters in the chase to become an NBA champion, and that pursuit begins tonight.” For the Lakers, patience was key for this draft. After waiting hours, anticipation turned into action for the […]
Lakers trade up to No. 24 pick, select Cameron Carr
The Lakers made sure they got their player in the first round on Tuesday. Los Angeles made a last-minute trade, moving up one spot to the No. 24 pick to select Cameron Carr, a guard out of Baylor. It didn’t take much for the Lakers to complete the deal as all they had to do […]
Lakers have interest in Kel’el Ware, Bucks not expected to make trade
On top of having cap space to make moves in free agency, the more likely outcome is that the Lakers will use that flexibility to get involved in a trade as a third team. The big trade of the week, and likely of the offseason as a whole, saw Giannis Antetokounmpo moved from the Bucks […]

Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Heat
The Lakers never really got involved in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes this summer, but there were just enough murmurs on the fringes of the deal that could have included the purple and gold. For now, though, it’s a straight two-team trade that will send Giannis to Miami for about everything notable they have, including […]
Luka Dončić texted Jalen Brunson after the Knicks won the NBA Finals
As far as all-time fumbles by a franchise go, the Mavericks going from having a young backcourt pairing of Luka Dončić and Jalen Brunson to having neither and nothing to show for it is near the top of the list. It’s two of the more inexplicable moves in recent NBA history. Dallas watched Brunson excel […]
