Guys like Pat Bev, Russ and all those lakers players that couldn’t succeed in LA because of the pressure blame everyone but themselves.
Kobe said it best:
Steph Curry on the Warriors’ chances at LeBron James: “I don’t have a percentage. It’s kinda up to him.”
“The pitch is: Do you want to play good basketball and be around people who know how to play the game? Raise our floor, competitiveness...There’s good golf in the Bay.”
It was never about who’s better at basketball it’s age and health
-2020 healthy
-2021 Achilles and groin injury
-2022 ankle roll/Midfoot sprain
-2023 healthy
-2024 healthy
-2025 abdominal/groin strain
-2026 broke his hand
Lakers only got 3 seasons of healthy AD in 6 years
I don't care what anybody says. Trading Anthony Davis for Luka will go down as the worst trade in Lakers history. Anthony Davis is better at the game of basketball than Luka and he's a DAWG.
Jonas Valanciunas is expected to sign with either the Lakers or return to Europe.
📈 After being waived by the Nuggets, Valanciunas is a top target for the Lakers, Knicks and Heat.
Valanciunas is expected to sign a 2-year deal to return to Lithuania, and perhaps retire there.
The Lakers are reportedly willing to offer Jonathan Kuminga a two-year, $20 million contract, per @latimes
“Jonathan Kuminga is a player the Lakers are after, according to people with knowledge of the situation who said L.A. is looking at a two-year, $20-million deal for Kuminga, the sort of athletic wing player the Lakers need to start at small forward.”

Free agent center Kevon Looney has agreed on a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, Life Sports Agency CEO Todd Ramasar tells ESPN.
How’s it not enticing?
-Lakers you get a starting spot 38 mins +
-Cleveland if Bron goes there u ride the bench
-Atlanta is filled with wings they don’t need or want him
There’s no where else who can give him an opportunity like LA can.
REPORT: The Lakers are the “most active” in pursuing Jonathan Kuminga, but have not made an offer enticing enough for Kuminga to commit to LAL, per @anthonyVslater.

@Adrian531036302 It’s not the scoring part it’s When Luka controlling the ball what does Manon do?
Hes not a set shooter
He’s not a movement shooter
Hes not a slasher
The Los Angeles Lakers are not considered to be a potential landing spot for veteran guard DeMar DeRozan after he was released by Sacramento in Monday, multiple league sources told ESPN. The Southern California native had dialogue with LAL in the past - notably in 2021.
