The two players we were thinking of trading for were traded for each other. That checks out with random **** that happens to the Lakers in today’s NBA.
Jax is nearing the completion of his Slovenia citizenship so he can play with Luka on the Slovenian National Team!
What a genius move to elevate his career and assure continuity with the Lakers.
Gonna be a close game.
Luka cancels out Brunson therefore KAT becomes the threat.
Again Ayton becomes the X Factor for the Lakers whom LeBron stated 'Needs to get more touches' just yesterday.
I keep hearing Rui's name in trade talks.
Trading Rui would be STOOPID!
He is the most stable and consistent player the Lakers have.
Trading him for another wing is equivalent to saying that he does not play defense which is not true.
And quite likely that defensive wing would not match Rui's offensive contributions.
You do not have to be ALL NBA to be effective!
The Lakers have stated that they are not going to make a big trades and are simply seeking 3 and D wings. Yeah right!
Go and get Caruso rather than the stereotypical wing if so. He's better than Keon Ellis!
The Lakers are always thinking big and now Giannis's name is in the mix.
The hedonistic Lakers could not resist a Giannis temptation and it was Giannis who mentioned the Lakers!
Some version of a 4 team trade involving LeBron to Cleveland or Golden State seems imminent...
If he wants to go 'home' he has to do it now in case age or injury takes him before next season.
Golden State is trying to get both LeBron and Giannis. Unlikely Señor Steph.
Kerr might retire and Draymond is going bonkers regarding his name being mentioned in trades...
Expect more technical fouls moving forward while he hacks away some of that frustration.
Imagine Giannnis and Kuminga coming to the Lakers...
Game over!
Reaves has been 'questionable' all week.
I expect him to play limited minutes tonight...
Reaves officially out dangit...
That's a huge 3 by Luka to give the Lakers some life. Need stops and scores. Lebron in for the final 4 minutes.
Why to blow it in the 2nd Lakers.
Rui gotta shoot that 3
Ugh another offensive rebound by the Knicks, and Shamet drills the dagger from the corner
Win one, lose one, win one, lose one. .500 team. Prove me wrong.
Hart a former Laker killed the Lakers tonight. The Lakers need to make some trades before the deadline which is February 6, 2026.
What we have is not a winning team. Maybe after Reaves comes back, but he is going to be extremely rusty.
But they need to make some moves. They looked pathetic on the second half against the Knicks.
