Chicago was supposed to be “big sellers,” a lie told about as often as Santa Claus. Isaac Okoro is the most recent name to draw some interest, but could this one actually materialize?
We’re about 23 days away from the NBA trade deadline, and all we have so far are rumors and no real transactions. After Trae Young got dealt to the Wizards, we assumed the floodgates would’ve opened, but so far—nada.
Why Do the Lakers Want Isaac Okoro?
Per Evan Sidery, the Los Angeles Lakers have “...
The Lakers have finally made a roster move, albeit a minor and short-term one. On Tuesday morning, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that the team was signing Kobe Bufkin to a 10-day contract. Bufkin has been a bright spot with the South Bay Lakers this season. In 12 games this season, Bufkin is averaging 26.1 […]
The Lakers have had many a frustrating loss this season, particularly over the last month, but Monday’s will rank near the top. In what has become a recurring nightmare, the purple and gold couldn’t hit an outside shot, couldn’t get defensive stops and got run off the court by an inferior team. That it came […]
Less than 24 hours after being blown out by the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers (23-13) are back on their home floor where they will take on the streaking Atlanta Hawks (20-21) on Tuesday. This is the final regular season meeting between the teams. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Atlanta Hawks When: 7:30 p.m. […]
A lackluster effort from the Lakers saw the Kings pick up just their 10th win of the season, 124-112, on Monday. LA led for most of the first quarter, but Sacramento, who came into the game tied with the Pelicans for the fewest wins in the West, took a lead late in the opening period […]
Austin Reaves has played at an All-Star level this season, solidifying himself alongside Luka Dončić as the future of the franchise. He’s in line for a big payday and has made it clear multiple times that he wants to remain in Los Angeles. Rich Paul cares about none of that. Despite being the CEO of […]
Few things have been more obvious across the NBA over the last year than Jonathan Kuminga having no long-term future with the Warriors. But where his future will take place is entirely unclear. At some point, seemingly every team in the league has been linked to Kuminga. Trade machine screenshots involving Kuminga are about as […]

Coming off a gritty win over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Spurs traveled to Boston to face the Celtics. Devin Vassell would remain out with an adductor injury. Just like the Lakers game, this game turned out to be a brick competition mixed in with solid defense. Both teams shot 41% and under from the […]
I think the 3 games in 4 nights caught up to them at the end. Their shots were short. 4 free throws for the Celtics is rather telling. Jaylen Brown was very heated about the lack of calls after the game. I can relate to the fans who hate seeing White on the Celtics. I hurt every time I see Marcus Smart on the Lakers. They were quite complementary of the Celtics. It's funny how they trash their own players until they do something good and then it'...
Through 36 games, the Lakers’ 13 losses continue to be discussed more than their 23 wins. The discourse, while at times unfair given their record and the often ignored context of how shorthanded they have been, is also the medicine the team must swallow for the beatdowns they have endured. This is because when the […]
Coming off an inspired win against the LA Lakers, the Milwaukee Bucks look to find gold with a rare win in Denver when they take on the Nuggets at Ball Arena tonight. A win would give the Bucks a 3-1 record to conclude the West Coast road trip and a 7-3 record over their last […]
On Wednesday, the Spurs hosted the Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back. At the end of the night, Keldon Johnson tallied 27 points shooting 11 of 13 (84.6%) and 2 of 3 from beyond the arc. During the competition, with s couple of minute sleft in the first half, play-by-play announcer Mike Breen […]
Well, here’s one you don’t see every day. The NBA announced on Saturday evening that Dennis Schröder had been suspended for three games by the NBA for attempting to confront and strike a Lakers player following the Kings’ game in Los Angeles on Dec. 28. The initial statement didn’t name who he tried to fight, […]
The Lakers find themselves in an interesting position as the trade deadline nears. On one hand, they clearly need upgrades to the roster if they want to compete this season. The lack of shooting and perimeter defense are glaring holes that will be fatal flaws at some point come playoff time. However, they also have […]
Despite being two of the faces of the NBA over most of the last 10 years, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo had gone some time since playing a meaningful game against one another. While they’ve often squared off in the All-Star game as leading vote-getters, their last game donning Lakers and Bucks jerseys came in […]
The Bucks put on one of their better defensive performances of the season, especially down the stretch, rebounding from Wednesday’s loss to beat the Lakers 105-101. Milwaukee ended their season series with the Lakers in a 1-1 split, after the Lakers blew them out back in November. As for the standings, the Bucks move within […]
LOS ANGELES — With less than five minutes to go in the Lakers’ matchup against the Bucks, they found themselves in familiar territory. It was their 14th clutch game, and with LeBron James on a roll and the home crowd roaring in approval, it appeared the Lakers were on their way to another victory. However, […]
The Bucks improved to 2-1 on their West Coast road trip, taking down the Lakers in LaLa Land 105-101. Kevin Porter Jr. had 22 points to lead the Bucks, while Giannis had 21 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Luka Doncic (24) and LeBron James (26) combined for 50 points for […]
The Lakers lost their second game in a row with a 105-101 loss over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. Luka started hot offensively for the Lakers by draining two 3-pointers early. He also connected with LeBron James, who threw down an emphatic dunk. LA was up by five when Milwaukee called a timeout. Out […]
UPDATE: LeBron James will be playing on Friday night against the Bucks. He will keep his eligibility for NBA awards alive for the time being. The next instance that LeBron misses a game, he will be ineligible for end-of-season awards. For now, he keeps that hope alive and will suit up for the Lakers as they […]
Anthony Davis could miss “a number of months [depending on second opinion and if surgery is required]” after exiting Thursday’s 116-114 loss against the Utah Jazz with ligament damage in his left hand, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Friday on X. Davis will almost certainly be out past the Feb. 5 NBA Trade Deadline, casting serious […]
