The primary storylines for the Los Angeles Lakers’ offseason are who their next head coach will be and what to do with Russell Westbrook. The two things are reportedly linked as the Lakers have been asking candidates how they would utilize Westbrook should he remain on the roster for the 2022-23 season. It seems the front office is bracing itself for another year with Westbrook should a trade not materialize between now and the start of next season.

As the Los Angeles Lakers’ head coaching search seems to be coming to an end, Jason Kidd — who was Frank Vogel’s assistant for two years — is fighting in the Western Conference Finals after taking over at Dallas Mavericks last summer. Kidd went through two...

The introduction of the Play-In Tournament has changed the way teams approach the end of the regular season in the NBA. Giving teams in ninth and 10th places one last chance to salvage their campaign and qualify for the playoffs resulted in a reduction of meaningless games.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been stuck at home watching the 2022 NBA Playoffs and they must be disappointed they are not in the mix to win their 18th championship. LeBron James has now missed the postseason twice since coming to Los Angeles and the organization has to feel the pressure of winning now while he is still donning Purple and Gold. This offseason is going to be one of the most crucial in franchise history as they look to get past their failure of a 2021-22 season and hopefully keep James past the 2022-23 season.

No one knows better than the Los Angeles Lakers and their fans how much LaVar Ball typically has to say. During Lonzo Ball’s two seasons with the Lakers, LaVar insisted that L.A. remained his son’s team even after the arrival of LeBron James. Not long after, when reports of the looming Anthony Davis trade were ramping up, LaVar said he wanted Lonzo to be sent to Phoenix instead of New Orleans — and added he would “speak it into existence.”

After losing Game 7 of the 1984 NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers returned for the 1984-85 NBA season looking for redemption.
