Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a number of new coaches and shifting management since the finish of the 2011 season when Phil Jackson retired from the Lakers organization. Ever since than the team has seen three coaches: Mike Brown, Mike D’Antoni, and Bryon Scott. The management has only seen one change and that is due in part because of the late Dr. Jerry Buss leaving us and his son Jim Buss taking over. Since that time in 2013 the team has seen a rapid amount of change from bad deals that would directly affect the future of the team in a negative way. Kobe Bryant’s $24 million a year deal for two years is one of these deals that could have been seen as questionable. I mean yes, the Lakers did make a huge sum of money from this deal because…

The (2-8) Los Angeles Lakers are in the valley of the sun, Phoenix, Arizona, to battle the (5-4) Suns. The Lakers, led by an all-around effort by Kobe Bryant, Jordan Clarkson and a defense that held the Detroit Pistons to 37-percent shooting from the field helped the purple and gold notch their second win of the season and first home win of the 2015-16 season. While in Phoenix, time permitting, the Lakers could view Camelback Mountain, for a challenging hike on Cholla trail, also a visit to…

Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak have recently intimated that the team needs a center to compensate for their lack of ceiling and a veteran point guard to provide backup minutes and guidance for their young spitfire duo of Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell, according to Basketball Insiders. Kupchak may have suddenly realized that there is only one full NBA season of experience between Clarkson and Russell and so both playmakers would need direction not only on the court but…

The Los Angeles Lakers are apparently keen on trading for Sacramento Kings’ star DeMarcus Cousins, according to ESPN. Mitch Kupchak and his gang are said to be “actively pursuing trade scenarios” to try and form a transaction that would persuade the Kings’ management to deal Cousins. Recently, Kings’ vice president and new chief decision-maker Vlade Divac quipped that they will only swap Cousins if Michael Jordan was available. It was thought of as a joke, but he had been firm that they would…

My discourse community is the Los Angeles Lakers, The lakers are one of the biggest teams in NBA history. They have a common goal which is to win as many world championships as they could so far they have 16 which is second of all time to the Boston Celtics who have 17.

When Kobe Bryant said he would forgo college and take his talents to the NBA the journey to greatness began. I think this is the only thing I didn't enjoy about Kobe Bryant's career when he was drafted 13th overall to the Charlotte Hornets then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. One can only imagine what would've happened to the legend of Hornets basketball if that move was never made, but I digress it's fun to dream. He quickly became a Hollywood star transforming the Lakers organization once…

The (5-23) Los Angeles Lakers play the (19-9) Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time in five days, in a back-to-back contest as well as in OKC’s second-straight game at the Staples Center. OKC beat the Los Angeles Clippers on a Kevin Durant game-winning shot at the buzzer. Just as sure as driving slightly more than seven miles south on the 110 Freeway and seven miles west on the 105 Freeway in L.A. you’ll reach the Los Angeles International Airport; the OKC Thunder will have something to…
