Los Angeles Lakers

Time to whale on that panic button, Miami. Just kidding. Miami Heat fans have nothing to worry about. Yet. LeBron James is a still a member of the Heat. For now. According to ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst (h/t Eye On Basketball), chances are LeBron will opt out of his current contract with the Heat and become [...]

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are many things to one another. They are opponents. They are friends. They are members of the All-Star brat pack. Could they also be future teammates? LeBron apparently hopes so. Writing on the deliberateness behind the Los Angeles Lakers’ long, infecund coaching search, USA Today‘s Sam Amick, dropped this gem: [...]

This Los Angeles Lakers coaching search hasn’t been much fun. All along, the assumption was that the Lakers would make a splash by inking a big, flashy, oh-my-god-did-they-really-sign-him? name. Instead of action and visions of grandeur, though, there have been the same old recurrent, drab rumors that have them interviewing prospective candidates like Mike Dunleavy, [...]

Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers have the #1 pick in the draft, again, for the third time in four years, we take a look back at their best 1st round draft picks of all-time. 10. Ron Harper School: Miami University Drafted: 8th pick (1986) NBA Experience: 15 seasons Playoffs: 10 Awards/Accomplishments: 5-time champion (Bulls, Lakers) [...]

Kobe Bryant is going to be one happy camper. According to ESPN’s Chris Broussard, the Los Angeles Lakers interviewed Byron Scott for their head coach position on Tuesday. Personally, I’m not sure what impresses me more: The fact that the Lakers are entertaining a coaching prospect Kobe is known to love, or that the team [...]

So that was fun…for some teams. The 2014 NBA draft lottery is over. Finished. Kaput. Next stop, the NBA draft. Well, first we need to finish the Conference Finals. And crown an NBA champion. Then it’s on to the NBA draft. Here are some thoughts for each lottery team, along with their draft position, on [...]

On the heels of another delusional tirade by banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the Clippers lost 104-98 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. How? How does the team with the best floor leader (Chris Paul), the best coach (Doc Rivers), and best frontcourt (Griffin/Jordan) lose a playoff series? In the critical game 5, the Clippers blew [...]

Times are a changing. One day, you’re Kobe Bryant, ruler of the Los Angeles Lakers. Your will be done. Don’t like Shaquille O’Neal? He’s gone. Championships? Got ’em. Comparisons to Michael Jordan? Check. Then, quite suddenly, you’re old, going on 36 and fresh off a season that saw you appear in just six games. You [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers are in no rush to replace Mike D’Antoni. While plenty of other NBA teams are in a mad dash, searching feverishly for their next head coach, the Lakers are going to take it easy and really dig into to this entire process. That’s the plan, anyway. General manager Mitch Kupchak sat [...]
