UCLA’s Tyger Campbell, Texas’ Marcus Carr, Virginia Tech’s Justyn Mutts, Gonzaga’s Anton Watson, Texas Tech’s Kevin Obanor and Djordjije Jovanovic of the G League’s Ontario Clippers comprise the Lakers’ latest group. Campbell will be familiar to many in the area as he has been the starting point guard for UCLA since he stepped foot on campus four years ago. He is undersized and not a great ath ..read more

The 2023 NBA Finals are officially set and it brings together two teams with completely different stories and paths together. The Denver Nuggets held the top spot in the Western Conference for most of the year and are led by two-time MVP Nikola Jokic. The Miami Heat, on the other hand, were an eighth seed that many thought wouldn’t even make it out of the Play-In Tournament let alone the NBA Finals, but Eastern Conference Finals MVP Jimmy Butler led the way in this unlikely run. The Nuggets have been dominant in this postseason so far, having lost just three games total. They dispatched the Mi ..read more

Throughout his career, there have always been certain types of players who just fit perfectly alongside Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. High IQ players who play the game the right way and can operate on and off the ball have always thrived with LeBron, and no player on this year’s team fit that mold more than Austin Reaves. Reaves’ ability to read the game and be an off-ball shooter as well as create for himself and his teammates offensively was perfect for James and the Lakers. Whether that will continue next season is unclear as Reaves is a restricted free agent and LeBron is consideri ..read more

The 1990-91 season put the Los Angeles Lakers in a tough spot as it was clear that the Showtime days were coming to an end. Magic Johnson and the Lakers were led by rookie head coach Mike Dunleavy and only added Sam Perkins to an already aging roster. The expectations, however, were still sky-high from fans. Some doubts were put to rest as the Lakers went 58-24. They carried that success into the NBA playoffs, sweeping the Houston Rockets in the first round and then defeating the Golden State Warriors four games to one. But the real test came in the Western Conference Finals, where the Lakers ..read more

One of the biggest pieces to the success of the Los Angeles Lakers this season was point guard Dennis Schroder. In his second run with the franchise, Schroder thrived both as a starter and coming off the bench, playing a huge role in the Lakers’ run to the Western Conference Finals. At the beginning of the season, Schroder mentioned that he wanted to make things right after a disappointing first stint with the Lakers during the 2020-21 season. And he believes he did just that this year. “Like I said before I tried to make it right and I think we sure did. We had a helluva season,” Schroder sai ..read more

With the offseason on the horizon for the Los Angeles Lakers, the major storyline heading into the summer is if LeBron James will suit up for the purple & gold again next season or ride off into the sunset as one of the greatest to ever play the game.

D’Angelo Russell looked like a great piece to have long-term for the Los Angeles Lakers after his solid 2022-23 season following the trade deadline. Russell looked like a natural fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis as a secondary scorer and playmaker, but his postseason run told a different story as he struggled to find a groove. His performance in the Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets left much to be desired and even led to him being benched in Game 4. After the guard’s lackluster showing, rumors of the Lakers chasing after Kyrie Irving kicked up again. Russell previ ..read more
