In the high-stakes world of the NBA, where the quest for championship glory never dims, the Los Angeles Lakers are on the lookout for a piece to elevate their game—a quest that has brought UConn’s Samson Johnson into sharp focus. As the draft looms on the horizon, Johnson’s remarkable journey from a bench player to a key contributor for the Huskies has caught the eye of the Lakers, a team in dire need of his explosive prowess. Johnson’s collegiate career is a testament to resilience and growth. After spending three years coming off the bench, including a sophomore season marred…
The Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves had his best season so far in his NBA career, establishing himself as one of the best offensive guards in the league. However, according to some reports, his time with the Lakers might be over According to NBA writer Bill Simmons, Reaves will be traded this summer, and the return that the Lakers will get is not what the fans would expect. “When Reaves gets traded this summer — and he will get traded — the stuff they [Lakers] get back for him is gonna make it seem worse that they [Mavericks] didn’t…
Boban is someone that has never been afraid to speak his mind, as shown when he was sacked by Milan at the beginning of March 2020 after criticising the ownership in an interview. A legal battle then ensued, but the former midfielder never backed down from his stance that he did the right thing. The Croatian labelled the ownership ‘disrespectful’ and ‘inelegant’ as relations soured. He was fired shortly thereafter for just cause, but recently has been commenting more and more on matters at Milan, especially given his role as a pundit for Sky. Boban spoke on the YouTube channel…
Multiple reports confirm that Manchester City have made Tijjani Reijnders their top target for the upcoming summer transfer window and are preparing a concrete move for the Milan star. The Netherlands international has been one of the Rossoneri’s standout performers in an otherwise challenging season, scoring 15 goals in 51 appearances across all competitions. His form has prompted Milan to extend his contract until 2030, but even that may not be enough to guarantee his future at San Siro. According to The Telegraph, Pep Guardiola has identified Reijnders as a key figure in his plans to reshape the City squad…
Milan provided the first punch in the double battle with Bologna as they came from behind to win 3-1 at San Siro on Friday night. Orsolini actually opened the scoring in that game with a trademark strike, cutting in onto his preferred left foot from the right wing and curling one in. Santiago Gimenez was summoned off the bench and he proved to be the difference-maker, scoring the equalising goal in the 73rd minute. Christian Pulisic then got the Rossoneri ahead before Gimenez secured his brace and the three points in the 92nd minute. Orsolini was interviewed by Corriere della…
Ahead of the trip to Turin there was genuine optimism that Milan may be able to squeeze themselves into the play-offs and got for the Scudetto, especially after last weekend’s win. However, those hopes took a big blow on Sunday lunchtime. The young Rossoneri fell behind early in the second half against Torino and then conceded a second soon after, giving them a mountain to climb. Bonomi converted a penalty to make it game on again with 10 minutes left, but they eventually fell to a 2-1 defeat. The result means that Milan go into the final round knowing they…
The LA Lakers saw a disappointing end to their promising season after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games in the NBA playoffs first round. The Lakers’ numerous problems in their roster were evident, including the lack of an inside presence following Anthony Davis’ trade for Luka Doncic in February. For NBA insider Brian Windhorst, the Lakers’ problem is more than just an interior player. Windhorst said that they aren’t just one player away from contention; they are farther from their championship hopes than many think. Since trading for Doncic, who has looked like the Lakers’ best player in…
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, Conceicao has been more generally preparing for the final from April 11 onwards, when his Milan won 4-0 against Udinese in a game in which the three-man defence was seen for the first time. It was at the Bluenergy Stadium that the Portuguese found the right system for his side who, not surprisingly, have won five if their last six games across all competitions and with just three goals conceded. Granted, for over an hour against Bologna the Rossoneri suffered with the man-to-man pressing of Vincenzo Italiano’s team and the…
You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. From Bill Plaschke: I love him like you love him. But it’s time. Austin Reaves is the Lakers’ breath of fresh air, a sharpshooting respite from all the drama and dirge, a stirring journey from undrafted to indefatigable. My favorite, everybody’s favorite. But it’s time. If the Lakers are going to get where they need to be, they’ll have to get there without Austin Reaves. If the Lakers truly value the acquisition of a big man, they’re going to have to get rid of the little fella. Damn, I…
In a bold move that signals a clear intent for championship contention, the Los Angeles Lakers have orchestrated a significant trade, sending the promising talent of Austin Reaves to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for the defensive colossus, Jaren Jackson Jr. This strategic pivot comes in the wake of a season that saw the Lakers’ aspirations crumble in a disappointing first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The quest for redemption has begun, with the Lakers addressing their most critical lineup deficiency—the absence of a commanding big man. A Strategic Masterstroke The Lakers’ decision to trade away…
