The Los Angeles Lakers are exploring another trade with the Dallas Mavericks, this time for a player tailor-made for Luka Doncic's skillset.

The Lakers are off to a brilliant start and are sitting at No. 2 in the Western Conference, only a game behind the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Trade buzz swirls around the Los Angeles Lakers as $60M center rumors heat up amid Deandre Ayton's strong start.

Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham provided some insight this week into his tenure as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and how it was impacted by Russell Westbrook.

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to finally have an idea of what they’re doing from a roster and coaching standpoint. JJ Redick has been impressive as a head coach and even got a contract extension after his first season. Luka Doncic is playing like an MVP candidate, and he’s signed for the long haul.

With the “super-team” experiment from the previous season destroyed and Kobe Bryant out with an Achilles injury, the Lakers were heading in a completely different direction. A roster full of role players/journeyman didn’t promise too much success, but even so, the Purple & Gold fandom expected better.

The Los Angeles Lakers entered the 2025–26 NBA season determined to return to championship contention after reshaping their roster over the summer. The franchise added Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart in free agency and traded for Jake LaRavia to strengthen its defense and overall depth.
