The Los Angeles Lakers are one Kawhi Leonard away from landing LeBron James in free agency. No big deal, right? ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne, Brian Windhorst and Adrian Wojnarowski have been on top of the Kawhi-to-Lakers rumors over the past couple days, and their latest batch of intel makes it seem as if LeBron is a [...]

There might be a chance that neither the Los Angeles Lakers nor Los Angeles Clippers fully commit themselves to the Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes. Granted, it’s a slim chance. Hollywood in general is considered his preferred landing spot. But the possibility exists that neither team will throw everything they have, plus the kitchen sink, at the [...]

Most oddsmakers view the Los Angeles Lakers as the singular favorites to land LeBron James (player option) this offseason. LaVar Ball is right there with them.

For any Los Angeles Lakers fans who believe CJ McCollum is sitting on a crystal ball, I have some good news: Paul George is about to join your favorite team. During a recent appearance on The Woj Pod, the Portland Trail Blazers guard was asked whether he would try recruiting George on behalf of his own [...]

LaVar Ball’s will be done? LiAngelo Ball, the brother of Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball, has declared himself eligible for the 2018 NBA draft. Though many haven’t expected him to even be selected, that has yet to stop him from making a round of interviews. Next up, though? Private workouts with the Lakers, [...]

Kobe Bryant? A bastion of…patience? And…of process? No. Surely not. Like, seriously, no. Counterpoint: Yes. Speaking on Fox Sports Radio’s Chris and Caron, the five-time NBA champion and future Hall of Famer made it clear he doesn’t want his Los Angeles Lakers busting up their youth movement to facilitate an epic free agency coup.
