Los Angeles Lakers are entering one of the most pivotal offseasons in recent memory, with two major decisions hanging over their front office. On one hand, they must wait to hear from LeBron James about his plans as he nears the end of his career. On the other, they face an equally significant dilemma with Luka Doncic, the franchise’s most recent superstar acquisition Despite early hopes that Doncic would quickly commit to a long-term future in Los Angeles, new reports suggest there’s growing concern he may delay signing an extension. While Doncic is under contract for one more season, the…
After the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2025 playoff run ended, LeBron James has remained busy supporting his wife, Savannah James, and promoting his businesses and other ventures. LeBron James and the Lakers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Purple and Gold lasted only five games—winning only Game 2—as Minnesota took a 4-1 series win. The 40-year-old superstar averaged 25.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.8 blocks in the series, but his efforts were not enough as the Timberwolves simply outclassed them and took advantage of the Lakers’ glaring frontcourt weakness.…
The Los Angeles Lakers’ 2024-25 season concluded with disappointment, as the team, despite finishing third in the Western Conference with a 50-32 record, suffered a first-round playoff exit against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers struggled to keep up with Minnesota’s high intensity, ultimately falling 103-96 in Game 5 at home, marking their second consecutive early postseason departure. The Lakers boasted a promising trio heading into the playoffs after the significant mid-season acquisition Luka Doncic, who joined LeBron James and Austin Reaves. All three players made significant contributions during the regular season, but were not enough to push LA into the…
Luka Doncic is set to sign a contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, potentially earning up to $228.6 million through the 2029-30 season.

As a 26-year-old, five-time All-Star, and multiple-time All-NBA First Team selection, Luka Doncic has already established himself as one of the league’s most electrifying players. Currently, he is…
Both Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino return to the side – Timber missed our defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday entirely while Merino came off the bench. Thomas Partey is also in the side after missing the first leg last week through suspension. So Arteta has named the same team as for that first leg at Emirates Stadium – with the exception of Leandro Trossard, who makes way for Partey. Riccardo Calafiori is fit enough to take his place among the substitutes after missing the last ten games with a knee injury, and Jorginho is also on the bench after recovering…

NBA great Toni Kukoc played during a time when international players were an afterthought. He was among the likes of Dino Radja and Drazen Petrovic who helped break the barrier in the 1990s. Now, there are dozens of foreign players dominating the league, including Luka Doncic. Many feel Kukoc was the original Doncic. “I see a little bit, but mostly when I played in Europe. That was the way I played,” Kukoc said in an interview with Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson. “When I got to the Bulls obviously that position was more or less reserved for Scottie [Pippen]… But there…
Last year, the bane of Milan’s season was their defensive issues, however, it was more due to injuries. Whilst the defensive problems have remained, the actual cause is more difficult to identify. Though it has a lot to do with depth once again. Throughout the season, the Rossoneri have used nearly 20 different defensive combinations, and this has had significant impacts on the defensive structure. On this alone, defensive changes are expected, given there is a need for a set unit that can be consistently relied upon. Then, there are also defensive departures that will affect the current look of…

When LAFC signed the striker on a free transfer from Serie A outfit AC Milan…

As TMW report, they will first of all have to define who will be the new sporting director and with him also the coach.
