The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t made any changes to their roster this offseason. Although they added two rookies, they haven’t committed to the sort of adjustments that fans were hoping for when the season came to an end. But perhaps the team is brewing up a big trade. According to Jovan Buha, per NBACentral, […] The post Lakers Are Looking To Trade Key Veteran appeared first on The Cold Wire ..read more

(Photo by Takashi Aoyama/Getty Images)   Rui Hachimura of the Los Angeles Lakers is about to represent his home country of Japan in the 2024 Olympics, which is a major accomplishment and career highlight for the young star. But he has already done so much and played with so many icons during his years in the NBA. Speaking to FIBA, Hachimura listed his all-time starting five featuring only people he has played with. Hachimura listed Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal, LeBron James, Kristaps Porzingis, and Anthony Davis as the players he would choose for his starting five. Rui has played with ..read more

(Photo by Paul Harding/Getty Images)   Colin Cowherd has good and bad news for fans of the Los Angeles Lakers. The good news is that he feels the two best players on Team USA are both Lakers: LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But the bad news is that even with all their talent, the Lakers are still not a very good team. James and Davis are doing incredibly with Team USA and might come home with a gold medal but that doesn’t mean Los Angeles is capable of serious success. He said that LA has James, Davis, the likable but limited Austin Reaves, and then a roster filled with random guys with l ..read more

No matter what happens in the big games, Davis has done everything in the world of basketball. As pointed out by Yahoo Sports, Davis is the only player to win a FIBA Basketball World Cup, an Olympic gold medal, an NCAA title, and an NBA championship. Davis is unquestionably one of the most talented and decorated NBA players in the league today.

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Lakers are not what they used to be. Not often did you see players and coaches turning down an opportunity to join the Purple & Gold, but they’re no longer the prime destination they were in the Jerry Buss era. Jeannie Buss has drawn plenty of criticism for the way she’s dealt with the team throughout the course of the years, and Rob Pelinka’s decision-making has also been a reason for concern. Add a rookie coach, a ‘good, not-great’ roster, and an aging superstar to the mix, and it seems like the Lakers aren’t a legitimate champi ..read more

(Photo by Christopher Pike/Getty Images)   LeBron James has been the face of the NBA for more than two decades now. Even if he hasn’t always been the best player in the league and even though his record in the NBA Finals leaves a lot to be desired, the fact of the matter is that he’s been the most popular guy in the NBA for more than twenty years. That’s why it’s so impressive to see that, despite his age, he continues to go strong and be a leader not only for the Los Angeles Lakers but also for Team USA. Team USA has looked pretty mortal in it’s past two outings, and James has bailed the ..read more

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Lakers continue to be one of the most highly discussed teams in the NBA. Not only are they a historic franchise, but with the Lakers’ lack of titles in recent seasons (minus the COVID-19 season), there is a growing sense that the Lakers are due for another ring. With LeBron James on the roster, the Lakers do have a major star on the team. Anthony Davis has been a great counterpart to James, but they might need to add more pieces if they want to compete to the best of their abilities. With this in mind, analysts like Brian Windhorst ar ..read more

(Photo by Henry Browne/Getty Images)   Celebrities and athletes often have opportunities to give back to their fans and local communities. Whether it’s a meet-and-greet, an interaction in-person, or via social media, both parties seem to benefit. Anthony Davis recently had an opportunity to make a fan’s day after Team USA’s recent win over Serbia. As the NBA recently shared via Clutch Points, Davis was seen giving a headband to a fan shortly after coming up with a big win.

(Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)   Anthony Davis has been a member of the Los Angeles Lakers for five seasons and has experienced plenty of ups and downs. He knows how loyal and vocal the team’s fanbase is and how much they expect from him. In a video shared by Audel Del Toro on Twitter, Davis is shown suggesting that Lakers fans are a lot like a rollercoaster, but he still loves them.

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)   Judging by their roster and the myriad of NBA talent they have, it’s not a surprise to see Team USA being the odds-on favorite to not only win the gold medal in the Olympics but also to dominate their entire opposition. Nonetheless, their narrow win over South Sudan proves that they can be beaten, and so does their recent record. As shown by ESPN insider Brian Windhorst (via Get Up), Team USA won 74 consecutive games between 2007 and 2019. Ever since, they’ve lost nine times to seven different countries, and it was almost ten times to eight different ..read more
