Could Adou Thiero fill the Lakers’ athletic wing void?
Los Angeles’ crosstown rivalry reignited Tuesday about 300 miles away from their respective arenas. A potential highlight transition dunk from Adou Thiero turned into a hard foul, deemed reckless enough to be upgraded to a flagrant. Some extra pushing and shoving followed, resulting in technicals. Thiero and the Summer League Lakers brushed off the mini […]
Lakers reportedly interested in free agent Matisse Thybulle
The Lakers have added a wing to their team by reportedly signing Ziaire Williams, but they continue to look for more depth at the position.

Walker Kessler is ready to ‘run through a brick wall’ for Lakers

Bronny James’ future not ‘linked’ to LeBron James’ free agency decision
This summer, the Lakers underwent a massive roster overhaul, leaning towards youth and athleticism. While many players have left, including LeBron James, one who remains on the Lakers is his son, Bronny James. Considering that the guard has developed well over the last few seasons and even had some strong shifts in the playoffs against […]
Austin Reaves spoke with Luka Dončić, JJ Redick, Rob Pelinka throughout offseason
The Lakers are a franchise that always empowers its stars. LeBron James had a ton of say in what the Lakers did during his time as the No. 1 player. Luka Dončić reportedly wanted the Lakers to acquire Walker Kessler, and the front office got it done. And now, with Austin Reaves re-signing with the […]
Walker Kessler says he’s been medically cleared after shoulder surgery
The Lakers’ big move of the summer was pushing all their chips to the middle of the table to acquire Walker Kessler. There are lots of boxes that Kessler checks as a rim-protecting center and a hard-screening lob threat. All that comes with the caveat of him being healthy. Kessler played the first five games […]

Austin Reaves agreed to less money on new contract to give Lakers more flexibility
Once again, Austin Reaves is showing how badly he wants to win with the Lakers. Prior to the start of free agency, Reaves agreed to a reported four-year, $185 million deal to stay in Los Angeles.

The Lakers are rolling the dice on a buy-low option on the wing.

Considering the Lakers are over the cap, have no other mechanism to sign […]
Jonathan Kuminga’s free agency ‘on hold’ until LeBron James makes decision
Here we thought that the departure of LeBron James meant the Lakers’ offseason wouldn’t be put on hold. With the full-court press on for Jonathan Kuminga, LA is left waiting on his decision before making any final roster moves. The problem is that Kuminga, notably, is not someone who makes quick decisions in free agency. […]
Cameron Carr making a case for spot in Lakers rotation
Summer League offers the first look at rookies. A draft heralded as one of the best in years may also include a Laker selection when it’s all said and done. In a trade with the New York Knicks, LA moved up to the 24th pick to select Cameron Carr. In a short amount of time, […]

The Lakers have officially signed Collin Sexton, who will need to be a staple off the bench
One of the Lakers’ big weaknesses last year was their bench production. During the regular season, LA’s reserves scored just 29.3 points per game, the second-worst mark in the NBA. Things didn’t get much better in the playoffs. The backups scored 21.6 points per game, which was bottom-four in the postseason. It should be no […]
Arthur Kaluma is making a loud case for a two-way contract
LAS VEGAS — They say America is the land of opportunity, but in the NBA world, that place can be narrowed down to Las Vegas in July. On Saturday, the Lakers were shorthanded against the Mavericks with Cameron Carr ruled out shortly before tip. Arthur Kaluma took advantage of the opportunity. He was magnificent in LA’s […]

PJ Washington contract not appealing to Lakers in potential trade talks
The Lakers’ flurry of activity early in free agency covered a variety of holes on the roster, but left one gaping one. Sandro Mamukelashvili was signed to replace Rui Hachimura, but he’s not a locked on starter. Most would assume that he’s a backup big man, able to spell either the starting power forward or […]
