Nike may have just debuted the worst Lakers jerseys ever
Just when you thought the Lakers’ jerseys couldn’t get worse, Nike unveiled maybe the worst version of them yet.

Ziaire Williams says JJ Redick wants him to focus on defense
The Los Angeles Lakers are not lacking for offensive firepower throughout their perimeter rotation. Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves are among the NBA’s foremost backcourts overall, especially offensively. Collin Sexton is a dynamite scorer off the bench. Quentin Grimes is a valuable floor-spacer who capably attacks closeouts. To compete for home-court advantage and a top-four […]

Bronny James says he’s been working on off-ball offense this summer
While the Lakers have lots of new faces joining the franchise this season, one of the more intriguing players returning is Bronny James. The only real discussion about him this offseason is whether or not he’d be used as a trade pawn before or after his father’s free agency decision. Once it became clear the […]
The Buss family drama isn’t going away anytime soon
I hope everyone was buckled up for the long haul with the Buss family. On Friday, Jeanie Buss filed for a continuance in the petition to stop her siblings’ sale of their stake in the Lakers, pushing the hearing back to Dec. 8. Originally, the court date was scheduled for November. In the petition, which […]

Lakers employees were turned off by ‘arrogance’ of Dodgers’ approach
There’s no question that the Dodgers’ approach to baseball has been successful. Under Mark Walter, the team has morphed into a dynasty. It made sense, then, to try to replicate that approach with the Lakers once he took charge. However, it wasn’t exactly a smooth process attempting to do so. Call it reluctance by the […]

The Lakers’ front office appears to be stuck in limbo amid ownership change
Ideally, you don’t want an ownership change to come right in the middle of a restructuring of a front office and franchise philosophy. It tends to cause some issues. The Lakers find themselves in an awkward position. The Dodgerizing of the front office was well underway when Mark Walter abruptly sold the team to Bob […]
Lon Rosen still heavily involved in meetings with Lakers
When Lon Rosen was hired by the Lakers, it was one of the clearest signs of the collaboration between Mark Walter’s LA-based franchises. Rosen was Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for over 10 years with the Dodgers before crossing the bridge to become the Lakers’ President of Business Operations. It was one of […]
Bruce Brown ‘in the mix’ for the Lakers
Jonathan Kuminga’s decision to sign with the Wolves left the Lakers with a glaring hole in the front court. The discussion around it has largely ranged from making a trade to internal options.

Sandro Mamukelashvili, Georgia rally in second half to down Portugal
The Lakers got an indirect win over the Celtics on Monday. Sandro Mamukelashvili’s Georgia side pieced together a big second half to overcome a double-digit deficit and knock off Portugal and Celtics big man Neemias Queta, 98-90. Any win over Boston is a good win. Portugal jumped ahead in the first half and led for […]
Collin Sexton brings much needed scoring off the bench
Parting ways with every free agent not named Austin Reaves this summer opened up positions across the roster. Shot creation and guard threats were thin behind the backcourt, leading them to come to terms with Collin Sexton on a two-year, $19 million deal. He brings a dynamic scoring punch and a much-needed on-ball operator off […]
