Pau Gasol

Ricky Rubio wants Pau Gasol, and he doesn’t care if the entire world knows it. Per Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times, Rubio not-so-subtly continues to hold out hope that the Los Angeles Lakers big man will wind up with the Minnesota Timberwolves: Pau Gasol has been loosely linked to the Wolves, primarily because [...]

Pau Gasol is taking up a good part of my NBA life lately. Out of necessity, I’ve written about the 32-year-old big man numerous times in the last week. I say “out of necessity” because, well, I mean it. The Los Angeles Lakers have won three in a row, and are finally playing like a [...]

Super teams are about sacrifice, and someone needs to tell Pau Gasol just that. It’s universal knowledge that the seven-footer hasn’t been happy with his role on the bench, but the Los Angeles Lakers were hoping that would change. Especially if it proved effective. But while it has proved effective, Gasol still isn’t happy. At [...]

Rudy Gay should not go to the Los Angeles Lakers. Not as long as Kobe Bryant is still donning purple and gold. Though the Memphis Grizzlies pulled the trigger on a deal that brought them beneath the luxury tax line and eliminated the need to deal Gay, speculation continues to run rampant.

The Los Angeles Lakers, well, they suck. But that’s not on Mike D’Antoni. Not entirely. Barely three months into his tenure in the Land of Make Believe, D’Antoni’s head is already being called for.

But only if [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t going to trade Dwight Howard, and Magic Johnson should remember that. Per Matt Formica of Hoopsvibe.com, Johnson took a controversial stance on Howard’s situation: Magic Johnson just made it clear (on National TV) that if he was Lakers CEO Jim Buss, he would trade Dwight Howard. “If I’m Mark Cuban, [...]

Kobe Bryant is a lot of things, but patient isn’t one of them. With the Los Angeles falling to 17-23 and three games outside of the Western Conference’s playoff picture, naturally, the Black Mamba’s patience is wearing thin. Everybody who calls Hollywood home is undoubtedly at their wits end and everyone has their own idea [...]

In a season that started with the promise of four All-Stars joining together on a championship quest, the Los Angeles Lakers stumbled through their first big test of the season. Despite their troubles, the Lakers problems are fixable. Losses are just that, but the Lakers going 0-4 against some of the best teams in the [...]

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers have finally arrived. Sort of. It’s been just two games, two victories over poor to mediocre factions, yet it’s meant something. It’s meant everything. Los Angeles has throttled the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks over the last two contests en route to its first two [...]
