With a little over 20 games left in the season, the Los Angeles Lakers may have to do something they never do. Lose. The Lakers optimistically like to remind themselves that they are only 13 games out of first place in their division, but they are now 17 games behind the first place team in [...]

Oh, Pau. Somewhere in the back of most of our minds, we thought the Los Angeles Lakers were going to make a trade. Even after general manager Mitch Kupchak said otherwise, there was a part of us that believed Hollywood’s finest were going to do something. Anything. Now, however, it’s become abundantly clear the Lakers [...]

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 [...]

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. If Dwight Howard isn’t not-so-subtly complaining about his coaching methods, then Kobe Bryant questioning the direction of the team. And if [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t going to trade Dwight Howard, and Magic Johnson should remember that.

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 [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling, but blowing this team up shouldn’t be an option. Though it’s tempting to look at the age of Los Angeles’ core and their subsequent record, and then conclude that this isn’t working, making any brash decisions on the fate of this convocation is still premature. Why? Because there’s still [...]

As the season continues, so have the Lakers struggles. No longer merely plagued by lineup and coaching changes, the Lakers now have to learn how to play without Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, who are out indefinitely. Injuries have kept Steve Nash and Dwight Howard from playing together and developing chemistry with each other and [...]

There’s dumb, there’s stupid, there’s completely insane and then there’s the idea that the Los Angeles Lakers should trade Dwight Howard to the Dallas Mavericks for Dirk Nowitzki. You might think I’m an idiot for mentioning it—and I may very well be—but just know my crime is only acknowledging that the concept exists. According to [...]
