Lakers To Work Out Tristan Thompson, Tony Bradley | Lakers Need Center | Lakers Open Roster Spot
#Lakers To Work Out #TristanThompson, #TonyBradley | Lakers Need Center | Lakers Open Roster Spot Centers Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley are scheduled to work out for the Lakers this week, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic. The team has an open roster spot and needs help in the middle with Mohamed Bamba possibly out for the rest of the regular season with a high left ankle sprain. Thompson, 32, played alongside LeBron James for several years in Cleveland and was part of the Cavaliers’ title-winning team in 2016. The 11-year veteran finished last season with the Bulls, but has been a free agent after not being re-signed. Thompson averaged 6.0 points and 5.1 rebounds for three teams in 57 games during 2021/22 and was part of one of the year’s biggest trades, being sent from the Kings to the Pacers in the Domantas Sabonis–Tyrese Haliburton swap. He signed with Chicago after reaching a buyout with Indiana. Bradley, 25, began this season with the Bulls, but was waived last month so the team could sign Patrick Beverley. Bradley saw limited playing time in 12 games, averaging 1.6 points in 2.8 minutes per night. The six-year veteran has also played for the Jazz, Sixers and Thunder. Jovan Buha of The Athletic tweeted last week that the Lakers were in the market for a center and were more likely to sign someone to a 10-day contract than a deal that covers the rest of the season. With only 20 days remaining in the season, L.A. can now fill that spot with consecutive 10-day contracts. The Lakers’ search for depth at center dates back to at least mid-January when they brought in Meyers Leonard and DeMarcus Cousins for workouts. Leonard recently signed with the Bucks for the rest of the season, while Cousins remains a free agent. So Z Nation, which center should the Lakers sign???

Lakers Get Much Needed Win VS Warrior 113-105, Anthony Davis Dominated In Massive Win For LA 
#Lakers Get Much Needed Win VS #Warrior 113-105, #AnthonyDavis Dominated In Massive Win For LA In a game where Stephen Curry's return was the big story, Anthony Davis shone brightest as the superstar carried the Los Angeles Lakers to a 113-105 win over the Golden State Warriors at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday. Davis dropped a game-high 39 points—his fourth consecutive 28-plus-point performance—to go along with eight rebounds, six assists and two blocks. He was the catalyst for the Lakers as they snapped Golden State's five-game winning streak. The weight was all on Davis' shoulders against a rejuvenated Warriors team, as fellow superstar LeBron James is sidelined for several weeks after injuring a tendon in his right foot against the Mavericks last week. D'Angelo Russell, who missed his fifth consecutive game with a sprained ankle, was also unavailable. Los Angeles will need Davis' recent form to continue if it is going to stay afloat in the Western Conference during the final stretch of the season. The injuries to James and Russell will only make his presence all the more pivotal. The Lakers improved to 31-34 following the win but still sit just outside the play-in spot, half a game back of the No. 10-seeded New Orleans Pelicans. The Purple and Gold will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. So Z Nation, what did you think about the Lakers win against the Golden State Warriors???

Lakers Comeback Win To Beat Pacers 112-111, Anthony Davis Saved LA
#Lakers Comeback Win To Beat #Pacers 112-111, #AnthonyDavis Saved LA Anthony Davis went full superstar mode on Thursday night. The Los Angeles Lakers' big man hit what would ultimately be the game-winning shot and followed it up with a crucial block on the ensuing possession to help his team narrowly defeat the Indiana Pacers 112-111. Davis led all players with 31 points, to go along with 14 boards and two blocks, while LeBron James added 26 points, seven boards and seven assists. The Lakers needed big performances from their two stars, as Russell Westbrook had a tough night from the field, shooting 2-of-16 with 10 points. Tyrese Haliburton's 26 points and 12 assists and Aaron Nesmith's career-high 24 points led the way for the Pacers. Davis' big performance came on the same day he wasn't selected as an All-Star reserve, the second straight year he won't be at the game after eight straight All-Star berths. If that has Davis a little fired up, the Lakers won't mind any. At 25-28, the team needs every big night and win it can muster, and in only his fourth game back after a nearly six-week injury absence, Davis looked fully locked in. That, in turn, helped the Lakers slowly chip away at a 13-point halftime deficit, eventually catching the Pacers (24-29) in the waning moments and setting the stage for some very timely AD heroics. So Z Nation, what did you think about the Lakers win against the Indiana Pacers????

Lakers Reportedly ‘Seriously Considered’ Russell Westbrook Trade For Buddy Hield, Myles Turner
#Lakers Reportedly ‘Seriously Considered’ Russell Westbrook Trade For #BuddyHield, #MylesTurner An internal "debate" reportedly continues to wage on behind the scenes as the Los Angeles Lakers decide whether to trade Russell Westbrook. Shams Charania, Sam Amick and Jovan Buha of The Athletic reported the Lakers' brain trust of Rob Pelinka, Jeanie Buss and Kurt Rambis met ahead of training camp and "seriously considered" a trade that would send Westbrook and two future first-round picks to the Indiana Pacers for Myles Turner and Buddy Hield. The opinions of coach Darvin Ham and Lakers executives Joey and Jesse Buss were also reportedly "strongly considered" in the process. Pelinka has final say on basketball moves, but the group decided it would not make a move unless a consensus was reached. With Westbrook opening the preseason in a Lakers uniform, there were obviously differing opinions on how to handle the situation. Jeanie Buss was reportedly Westbrook's strongest champion among the brain trust, believing a "combination of Ham’s style and on-court plan could be the solution here." Ham has expressed excitement about coaching Westbrook on multiple occasions and has publicly preached accountability—particularly on the defensive end. It's clear there is no guarantee Westbrook will remain with the organization through the end of the season. Pelinka's current plan is to "remain patient and see" if Westbrook fits better under Ham than he did under former coach Frank Vogel, who clashed with the 2017 MVP throughout last season. There is some danger in waiting. The Pacers are not going to sit around and hope the Lakers come back to the trade table; if an opportunity presents itself to move Turner and/or Hield, they'll strike. Indiana could also start out hotter than expected as its young roster starts coalescing. From a pure basketball perspective, Turner and Hield are a better fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis than Westbrook. Both James and Westbrook are at their apex of effectiveness with the ball in their hands, and Westbrook's lack of shooting prowess makes him a liability when he's asked to spot up. Taking the ball out of James' hands in favor of Westbrook makes little sense given the fact LeBron is a far superior basketball player. The Lakers' long-standing obsession with star power may be clouding the front office's vision, given most outside observers have already come to the conclusion that this trio simply does not work on the floor. So Z Nation, should the lakers pull the trigger on the trade for Hield and Turner? Or stick with the roster they have now???

Russell Westbrook, Agent Thad Foucher Part-Ways 'Irreconcilable Differences' | Russ Wants Out
#RussellWestbrook, #Agent Thad Foucher Part-Ways 'Irreconcilable Differences' | Russ Wants Out According to Wojnarowski, Foucher has represented Westbrook since he turned pro and was the No. 4 pick of the 2008 draft. Foucher said the two have a difference of opinion on the approach to take going forward. “Now, with a possibility of a fourth trade in four years, the marketplace is telling the #Lakers they must add additional value with Russell in any trade scenario. And even then, such a trade may require Russell to immediately move on from the new team via buyout. “My belief is that this type of transaction only serves to diminish Russell’s value and his best option is to stay with the Lakers, embrace the starting role and support that (head coach) Darvin Ham publicly offered. Russell is a first-ballot Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame player and will prove that again before he is retired. “Unfortunately, irreconcilable differences exist as to his best pathway forward and we are no longer working together. I wish Russell and his family the very best,” Foucher said as part of a larger statement. Westbrook has been the subject of frequent trade rumors in his rocky tenure with the Lakers, and based on Foucher’s statement, it sounds like the former MVP might be ready for a new team, but obviously Foucher thought it was best to remain in L.A. to try and rebuild his value. The 33-year-old appeared in 78 games (34.3 MPG) with the Lakers in 2021/22, averaging 18.5 PPG, 7.4 RPG and 7.1 APG on .444/.298/.667 shooting. He was heavily scrutinized by the media and fans due to his shot selection, poor defense and lack of accountability, as he blamed former coach Frank Vogel for some of his issues. So Z Nation, what’s next for Russell Westbrook and Lakers???

Lakers, Nets 'Actively Engaged' on Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook Trade | Lakers Trade Rumors
#Lakers, Nets 'Actively Engaged' on #KyrieIrving, Russell Westbrook Trade | #LakersTradeRumors It appears that the idea of Kyrie Irving teaming up with LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers is gaining traction. The Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are "actively engaged" in trade discussions centered around Irving and Russell Westbrook, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. "There's palpable optimism that an agreement can be struck between the two sides this offseason, but there remain a few hurdles, sources said," Haynes wrote. The two sides continue to talk about draft compensation, and the Nets want the Lakers to take Joe Harris in the deal, according to Haynes. Harris, who is recovering from ankle surgery, is owed $38.6 million over the next two years, and the Purple and Gold "have been disinclined to the inclusion of" the veteran, Haynes added. L.A. wants Seth Curry included in the deal instead. "The Nets are not expected to be rushed into a deal and will continue conversing the complex specifics with the Lakers on an Irving-Westbrook swap," Haynes wrote. The news comes after ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported that Irving wanted to re-join James in L.A. "as soon as he possibly can" (h/t Adam Zagoria of NJ Advance Media. In addition, The Athletic's Jovan Buha and Sam Amick reported that Irving teaming up with James again is a real possibility. Amick, Alex Schiffer and Joe Vardon of The Athletic added that Irving was focused on joining the Lakers before opting in to his contract with the Nets for the 2022-23 season. So Z Nation, do you expect a deal between the Lakers and Nets will happen???

Lakers Hired Chris Jent To Join Darvin Ham’s Coaching Staff
#Lakers Hired #ChrisJent To Join Darvin Ham’s #CoachingStaff Darvin Ham is making an addition to his coaching staff. The Los Angeles Lakers are hiring Atlanta Hawks assistant Chris Jent as their top assistant coach, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Ham recruited Jent to join the team over the last week. Jent entered the NBA as an assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2003-04 season and worked in the same capacity for the Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Sacramento Kings. He helped oversee the development of current Laker LeBron James from 2006-11 while with the Cavaliers. James was an All-Star in each of those seasons and was the scoring champion in 2007-08. Jent had served as an assistant for the Hawks for the last five years and worked alongside Ham in Atlanta during the 2017-18 season. Wojnarowski noted Jent and Ham "have maintained a strong relationship" since their time working together with the Hawks.
