Julius Randle

Did you need anymore confirmation that Julius Randle won’t be part of the Los Angeles Lakers after this season, as their attempts to reel in multiple superstar free agents soldiers? Probably not, because this has been talked about ad nauseam. But ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski has your additional confirmation anyway (via Lakers Outsiders): [tweet https://twitter.com/LakersOutsiders/status/928426723779235841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Flakersoutsiders.com%2F2017%2F11%2F08%2Flakers-trade-rumors-julius-randle-very-unlikely-to-continue-with-lakers-beyond-this-season%2F] Here’s [...]

It was pretty apparent that the Lakers were working with the Pacers to agree on a trade to acquire Paul George before the 2017 NBA Draft. George has stated his intentions to be a Laker and many around the league feel he is still destined to end up there even after he was traded to [...]

If the Lakers are going to begin to put the pieces together, they’ll need their young core to be on the court together as much as possible. The Kobe era is over, so it all begins now. A key ingredient to what they’re trying to do in L.A. is Julius Randle. After missing his rookie [...]

At some point the Los Angeles Lakers will have made a decision on head coach Byron Scott’s future. That point just isn’t now. Per the Los Angeles Times‘s Ben Bolch: Will this also be Coach Byron Scott’s final season with the Lakers? The franchise seems torn on whether he’ll return for the third and last [...]

This is what the Los Angeles Lakers planning for the future feels like. There are no world-beating trade rumors, no wild scenarios in which the Lakers land a superstar while giving up little to no assets. They are a team on the mend, preparing for Kobe Bryant’s retirement, patiently waiting for their young foundation of [...]

Watching the Los Angeles Lakers just became a lot less fun. It’s hard enough to watch them as it is, what with Kobe Bryant’s swan song dictating the ebbs and flow of the NBA’s second-worst offense. But it’s going to be nigh unbearable now without the super explosive Larry Nance Jr. to provide the occasional [...]

Young players on bad teams generally don’t let losing ruin their day. You’ll often times see them smiling and joking on the bench while their team is getting handled. Kobe Bryant recently noticed this as the Lakers were getting worked by the Blazers the other night, and the two youngsters in question were Julius Randle [...]

Never accuse Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott of delivering veiled messages. You can accuse Hollywood’s head honcho of many things, including ignorance, inadvertently inconsistent messages and just general stubbornness. But you cannot say that he’s afraid to speak his mind, or that his players don’t know exactly how he feels about them, even [...]

Byron Scott’s job as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers may be safe, but he still has some ‘splainin to do. All previous indications are that Scott, who is in the second season of a four-year deal that’s guaranteed through 2016-17, isn’t in any danger of being canned, despite being at the helm of [...]

Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott is not on the hot seat. Right now, it seems his seat is actually pretty comfortable. Despite coaching the Lakers toward one of the NBA’s worst records, and despite allowing Kobe Bryant to shoot himself into the unflattering history books, and despite doling out insufficient playing time to Los [...]
