NBA legend Charles Barkley criticizes LA Lakers over handling of Bronny James
Monday, November 25, 2024
NBA legend Charles Barkley has criticized the Los Angeles Lakers over their handling of Bronny James this season. The 20-year-old was selected by the franchise in the second round of the NBA Draft in June, where he joined his superstar father, LeBron, in the roster. The pair went on to make history together in October, when they become the first father-son duo to appear together in an NBA game. However, the rookie guard has since played a very limited role in the NBA and was assigned to the team's G League South Bay Lakers squad earlier this month.
Lakers linked to eight-time All-Star, former Rookie of the Year in trade buzz
Monday, November 25, 2024
The Los Angeles Lakers are likely going to add some serious star power to the roster before February's trade deadline, but who? It would make sense for the Lakers to add a lead guard, given the current makeup of the team. With Anthony Davis patrolling the paint and LeBron James operating as an elite wing/guard (at nearly 40 years old, no less), LA's attack would soar to new heights with the addition of a lethal point guard. Could Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks be that guy?

Monday, November 25, 2024

Lakers may acquire Nuggets' $179 million star by parting with Austin Reaves
Sunday, November 24, 2024
The Los Angeles Lakers' three-point shooting hasn't been stellar to begin the 2024-25 season, but they could make a wise move to help bolster that aspect of their team. Trading away a reliable role player and acquiring a near-automatic perimeter shooter would instantly solve the Lakers' long-range shooting woes. “The Lakers have shown promise this season, but their roster still lacks an elite shooter to space the floor consistently for Anthony Davis and LeBron James,” Fadeaway World's Eddie Bitar wrote Saturday. “Porter Jr. also adds versatility with his 6-foot-10 frame, making him a tough matchup on both ends of the floor.”
Nuggets' Russell Westbrook sends NSFW message to Lakers fans after dagger
Sunday, November 24, 2024
Russell Westbrook's stint with the Los Angeles Lakers was less than ideal, to say the least. Amid a dominant second half during which Denver outscored Los Angeles 70-39, Westbrook hit a three-pointer, turned to the crowd, and yelled, “Boom, b—h!”. It was the only made triple for Westbrook on the night, but he otherwise proved effective in 24 minutes of play; off of the bench, he tallied 14 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, and a steal. Saturday's big win as a member of the Nuggets was Westbrook's sixth game vs. the Lakers since the team traded him during the 2022-23 season.

How Franz Wagner shined bright for Magic to cap road trip with rare win at Lakers
Friday, November 22, 2024
Franz Wagner has never been the main star. In his two years at Michigan, he didn’t lead the Wolverines in scoring and as a sophomore played alongside All-American center Hunter Dickinson. Coming out of the NBA draft, he was perhaps overshadowed by other more well-known prospects at the time. Even when Orlando drafted him No. 8 overall in 2021, there was Jalen Suggs, whom the Magic selected ...
