The Los Angeles Lakers made a habit of signing former Golden State Warriors in free agency over the last few years, most recently bringing in Juan Toscano-Anderson. Toscano-Anderson joins JaVale McGee, Quinn Cook, Avery Bradley and Kent Bazemore among players who have swapped the Bay Area for L.A. The 29-year-old wing leaves the Warriors having just won the NBA title with Golden State in his first-ever playoff appearance.

With Malik Monk choosing to take a bigger money deal to join the Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Lakers had to turn elsewhere to add a young, scoring guard piece that they lost. That player turned out to be Lonnie Walker IV, who agreed to join the Lakers on a one-year deal for the entirety of the team’s taxpayer mid-level exception worth $6.5 million.

The rumors had been circulating for the entire 2017-18 season that LeBron James could join the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent that summer. But with the Lakers winning just 35 games the year prior and striking out on numerous free agents in the previous offseasons, James breaking that streak just seemed impossible to many.

The draft process for the Los Angeles Lakers extended past just taking Michigan State’s Max Christie with the 35th overall pick in their second round. Doing their due diligence by picking up promising young talent through the two-way contracts and Summer League signings, the Lakers have set themselves up with a great prospect pool to evaluate.

The Los Angeles Lakers reunited with a big man in free agency, bringing back Damian Jones after a short spell with L.A. last year.

The 27-year-old center tipped off the Lakers’ offseason business, followed by signings of Lonnie Walker IV, Troy Brown Jr. and Juan Toscano-Anderson.

The Los Angeles Lakers Summer League team has begun practicing ahead of the annual California Classic event in the Bay Area where they will play the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors on July 2 and 3. With a very talented Summer League roster, the Lakers can use this time...

When it came to potential free agents the Los Angeles Lakers wanted to retain, the top of the list was undoubtedly guard Malik Monk. There seemed to be mutual interest between both sides, but with the Lakers only having the taxpayer mid-level exception available to offer, Monk would almost certainly have more lucrative offers in free agency.

For some time there were rumors of a potential Kyrie Irving trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, but that was thought to have died down following Irving opting in to the final year of his contract with the Brooklyn Nets. Irving apparently wanted to finish out his deal in Brooklyn,...

The Los Angeles Lakers did a good job in the first hours of free agency, bringing in young versatile defenders in a clear U-turn on last summer’s strategy. The Lakers entered the 2021-22 season with the older roster in the NBA. This year, they started their offseason business by signing Damian Jones, Lonnie Walker IV, Troy Brown Jr. and Juan Toscano-Anderson — the former Golden State Warrior wing being the oldest player of the group at 29.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been active less than two hours into free agency. In need of 3-and-D wing players, the Purple and Gold have settled on two guards so far — Lonnie Walker IV and Troy Brown Jr. and a familiar face — Damian Jones. Walker, who...

The Los Angeles Lakers again have to look for role players willing to sign for L.A. on a minimum deal due to the franchise’s limited resources. The Lakers had only the non-taxpayer mid-level exception to offer free agents this summer, which they reportedly used to bring in former San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV. Besides that, the Purple and Gold were expected to focus on finding players with something to prove, offering them short minimum deals and hoping they would come to L.A. and put in the extra effort to boost their value — just like Malik Monk did during the 2021-22 season.

The NBA free agency window is underway and the Los Angeles Lakers are already busy at work trying to make improvements to their roster. While the big fish the Lakers are after is Kyrie Irving, they have begun making some smaller signing in the meantime as they negotiate with the Brooklyn Nets.

The Los Angeles Lakers heavily shuffled their frontcourt during the 2020-21 season, bringing in Damian Jones on a couple of 10-day deals, among other moves, as the season went on. The Lakers tried to correct their offseason mistakes after making Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell their go-to options at the...

Malik Monk earned a significant pay rise after he became one of the most reliable scorers for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2021-22. Monk hardly attracted interest from NBA teams last summer, allowing the Lakers to sign him on a minimum deal. The Kentucky alum quickly turned out to be one of the steals of that offseason, averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists, and shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc in 76 games.

Start reposting your memes — Kyrie Irving becoming a member of the Los Angeles Lakers is once again a real possibility. Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant requesting a trade Thursday opened the seemingly shut door of Irving joining the Purple and Gold. Laker fans didn’t have enough time to process moving on from Kyrie before it was back on again.
