The Lakers are moving quickly to fill a recently-opened role in the front office. On Thursday, the team announced Lon Rosen as the new President of Business Operations. Rosen is replacing Tim Harris, who announced earlier in the week to the organization he’d be stepping down, which the Lakers also confirmed. Rosen served as an […]

The Lakers were relatively quiet at the trade deadline aside from swapping Gabe Vincent for Luke Kennard. That’s in part because their proximity to their first-apron hard cap (less than $1.5 million away) limited what they could do. That shouldn’t be the case this offseason. The Lakers have long been projected to boast max or […]

A franchise and its biggest star need to be aligned, and it appears the Lakers have that with Luka Dončić.

The future of LeBron James remains as uncertain as ever as Los Angeles Lakers’ governor Jeanie Buss sounds doubtful the King will be returning next season, according to Alex Sherman of CNBC.

When the Lakers were sold to Mark Walter, the initial conversations focused on keeping things relatively the same.
