The Los Angeles Lakers Have Underwhelmed This Offseason

|

The Los Angeles Lakers have made a number of moves this offseason, although the majority have been underwhelming. Last season, the Lakers finished with a 33-49 record and were 11th in the Western Conference.

Los Angeles Lakers: Steps to Improvement

|

The Los Angeles Lakers are fresh off a season of total embarrassment. It’s not a stretch to say this as they entered the season with championship aspirations after a major roster overhaul during the summer and having a big three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook. Now, however, they won’t even be taking part in the […] READ MORE


Los Angeles Lakers: Three Trade Ideas

|

The Los Angeles Lakers are far too talented to be in the play-in zone for the playoffs. This, of course, is due to having LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
