[Charania] The Lakers have done their due diligence in trade interest around the league, and are open to using their tradeable first-round picks for players who are a fit for this iteration of the Davis-James team as well as for several years to come under Redick, sources said.

4 team deal (or 5 team) is supposed to be something like this with Butler on the way to forming a SUPERTEAM with KD and Booker.......The problem is the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver.....The entire point of CBA was to block Superteams so NBA is VERY mad and trying to block this deal from happening

LeBron needs to average 25.39 ppg over the next 41 games to keep a career scoring average of 27 ppg.

[Highlight] LeBron James grabs his 10th rebound of the game, which gives him a triple-double. He is then looking at JJ Redick to call a timeout, so he could get to the bench and rest for the remainder of the game

Russell Westbrook puts up 11 PTS, 7 REB, 9 AST on 80 FG% and +20 in 25 minutes vs. the Sixers.

[Starkand] (DFS’) minute restriction was because of an ankle injury that he was dealing with in Brooklyn. JJ Redick added the hope is that he will eventually get back to around the 29 minutes per game he was averaging with the Nets.

[Sidery] After holding out for two first-round picks last year for Kyle Kuzma, the Wizards will now have a difficult time even receiving one in a trade. With Kuzma going through a career-worst stretch making $23.5 million, there’s a strong possibility he stays in Washington all season.

Potentially, all the Lakers' top 10 picks from the last rebuild will be free agents this summer with little to no market interest.

Buha: They (Lakers) continue to evaluate their roster and are cautiously optimistic that Jarred Vanderbilt’s looming return will give them clarity as to which positions and skills they need most.

I'm so tired

Just watched the Pistons manhandle the Rockets and am starting to think the only difference between most NBA teams is effort. I don't think there is a big talent gap in the NBA anymore it's just who has the most energetic effort players wins and the Lakers dont have high energy guys so they stay 500

Why are people under the impression this team was contending this year?

Would you do this?? Seems like the only move to salvage the season and give them a punchers chance at the WCF. LA would also have to take protections off the 2027 pick owned by Utah

How would you feel about this deal to save some money, get a future 2nd when it would matter more to have one, and add some extra insurance at the Center position. Thompson was very good for Lakers in the 2023 stretch run. He actually was outstanding versus Joker

Rate this deal on a scale of 1-10. If this is the only move Lakers make will you be satisfied?? What seed do YOU predict they get after landing DFS + Reath

Does this team do better or worse with Vogel?

Nothing amazing but he’s finally contributing.

Do missed the game winner
