Everyone knows the Los Angeles Lakers need a starting-caliber center who is defensive minded in order to become true championship contenders. But they also need help at the guard and wing spots, where they seriously lack depth. They won’t have a first-round draft pick this year, but they will have a second-round selection at the No. 55 slot. The chances of landing a player who will earn a consistent rotation spot so low in the draft are always slim, but the Lakers have hit on second-round picks in recent years. A recent Bleacher Report mock draft has Los Angeles taking…

The older generation of NBA players has consistently been critical of today’s league and its stars. One of their main complaints is about the way teams relate each other on the court, arguing that it has diminished rivalries in the league. However, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was quick to point out the irony, explaining that many of the behaviors the older generation criticizes are things they themselves did when they were younger. Legends like Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal have repeatedly claimed that the game was tougher and more physical in their era. While there are undeniable differences…

Luka Doncic wasn’t the only player the Los Angeles Lakers received in that monumental trade with the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 1. They also obtained big men Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris, both of whom are grizzled veterans and have been around for years. Morris had actually been a member of the Lakers in the recent past. He signed with them late in the 2019-20 season from the buyout market after spending much of the season with the Detroit Pistons, and he helped out off the bench as Los Angeles won the NBA championship that year. His ability to hit…

Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar LeBron James has been around the NBA since 2003 and has seen first-hand how much the association has evolved from the moment he first stepped onto the court. With an ever-changing game, James recently noted on the Mind The Game podcast with Hall of Famer Steve Nash that he understands frustration from fans about the different look of the league over the years, but hears and empathizes with their concerns. “Fans, I want you guys to know,” said the all-time scoring leader, “that we’re listening. We hear you guys. We’re listening. We always want to make…
The Los Angeles Lakers need a center, and there might be one available in the form of Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis, who played with Luka Doncic during their time with the Dallas Mavericks, has improved his game since leaving Dallas. Unfortunately, the injuries have still been prevalent, and dealing with an unknown sickness, Porzingis didn’t have the 2024-25 season that he was hoping for. However, with how talented he is and his ability to hit shots from anywhere on the court, the Lakers would certainly be interested in him if the Celtics make him available. In a…
