[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

Such a bad look from Kuminga’s agent. He JUST signed with the Timberwolves and you’re already talking about the bag you want to collect from the Kings or Bulls next summer.

Holy shit.

Thank you, Rob, for not backing off your long-term offer.

[Run It Back @RunItBackFDTV]

Jonathan Kuminga's agent, Aaron Turner, explains why he didn't sign a 3-year, $75M extension with the Warriors:

"Money coming before basketball is not how you continue to make more and more money. ... Next year is a way better free agency year for him...teams that have been trying to sign-and-trade for him, like Sacramento and Chicago, will have a lot of money."

@LakerCentral365 Agreed not to mention using up the little draft capital we have to secure a bag chaser for only one season!

[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

@LakeShowGo You’re so young and on a great path. Keep your head up brother 💪

[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

@ShowTimeeLA Regular season, this team will absolutely be fine and win plenty of games. It’s about can they compete with OKC and SA. Not sure the current roster could without some guys outplaying their expectations . Kuminga plays to his potential and it was on the table.

@marilikessports Same sister

[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

@ShowTimeeLA Zero. It’s all about the elusive bag for Kuminga. Lakers smartly were not going to send out a their little remaining draft capital in a sign and trade to secure Kuminga for just one season.

[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

Kuminga passes on starting next to Luka, Reaves and Kessler, play a role perfectly suited for him and compete for championships.

Play to your potential and you’re looking at huge payday at 26.

Instead, he’s chasing a bag he hasn’t earned. He’ll be in the same spot next summer.

Kuminga hate watch officially starts today

What the hell man

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Kuminga chose the Timberwolves over offers from the Lakers, Bulls and Trail Blazers -- bypassing a similar starting role and $12M-plus annually over three years in L.A. to land in Minnesota for a shorter-term deal and an ability to have more control of his future, sources said.

[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

@Lakerzinfive That’s fair, but you’re still arguing Hardy’s potential rather than the roster construction issue I’m talking about. I see the upside too. I just don’t think it outweighs the redundancy with Sexton and the opportunity to use that spot/cap space on a bigger need.

@marilikessports I mean, it’s not a classic rivalry, but there are definitely bones to a OKC/LAL rivalry. Luka eliminated OKC in 2024, and now he’s a Laker who just faced them in the playoffs. I can see why the league is leaning into it.

[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

@LakerCentral365 Maybe it’s just me, but anti Lakers media narratives never bothered me. I always saw them as a compliment to the prolonged excellence. I’d much rather he spend his time, money and resources figuring out how to get us another ring.

420 days after agreeing to buy the Lakers, Mark Walter agrees to sell the team for a $2 billion profit.

[Brady 🇦🇺🏀 @BradyBall]

So the Mark Walter era is over before it began

[Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne]

The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record breaking price over $12 billion, multiple sources told ESPN.

Kushner and Iger were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year.
