The next piece of business for the Lakers is finding help in the form of a wing defender. Lakers have been used as a successful launching pad for players on min deals in the past and will be making that pitch
Rich Paul details the conversations that ultimately led to LeBron James leaving the Lakers:
▫️ The Lakers wanted LeBron back, but no meeting took place because Rich felt there was no reason to waste anyone’s time.
▫️ LeBron knew staying in Los Angeles would allow him to earn the most money, but decided his next move could not be based on finances.
▫️ A return to the Lakers initially felt about 80% likely, but that number continued to drop over the following weeks.
▫️ LeBron told Rich that his main priority was finding “complete happiness” at this stage of his career.
▫️ After weighing everything, LeBron felt moving on from the Lakers was the best decision.

I like the Grimes pick up. Don’t understand why the Lakers got Sexton instead of stepping up and keeping Marcus Smart. Not about Sexton v. Smart in a vacuum. Just think Smart fits better for what the Lakers need around Luka and AR.
Just in: Free agent F/C Sandro Mamukelashvili has agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal to sign with Los Angeles Lakers, with a player option for the fourth season, sources tell ESPN. Big fully guaranteed deal for George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports.

Sources: Jalen Duren scheduled to meet with the Lakers again tomorrow, and strong signs they’re willing to go big with a possible restricted free agency offer.

I’m not going to react fully until we see the final roster but that’s not a LOT for Luke Kennard who was very good for the Lakers and had good chemistry with Luka.
Free agent sharpshooter Luke Kennard has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Phoenix Suns, with a player option for the second season, sources tell ESPN.
LeBron James has instructed Rich Paul to talk to everyone around the league who is interested in him playing for them and come back to him with what the options are so he can make his decision, a source familiar with James' thinking told ESPN.
The Lakers were on a 52-win pace in games played without LeBron last season.
I'm not sure why we're acting like Luka-Austin + retooling isn't a viable top-6 team
