The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[Retroram52]

We are still shooting less than 25% in Three Point Percentage. Something that still isn't fixed under Redick.

The Lakers lead by 10 at the half.

It wouldn't hurt to be in an actual NBA arena. Those rims are pretty rough (not that you should be hitting rims on 3s anyway, lol). The shooting should come as the players adjust to their new roles/rotations.

The Lakers are going with Koloko anyways.

Lakers have already lost an optimal trade target before the season even begins

The Los Angeles Lakers can cross a promising name off the list of potential trade targets in 2024-25.

Looks like Knecht is fast becoming a potential rotation participant in the upcoming regular Season.

Dalton Knech creating the perfect internal pressure to yield Lakers excellence

The Los Angeles Lakers have a promising up-and-comer in Dalton Knecht. He's holding the starters' feet to the flames already.

The Lakers may have found a really good Guard in Olivari.

Lakers could potentially lose him if he continues to show out. He's only an Exhibit 10 contract, so someone could sign him to an NBA contract or 2 way deal. All that means is he gets a bonus if he signs with the Lakers g-league team at the conclusion of the preseason instead of signing with another g-league squad.

Lakers need two things IMO. A 2 for 1 trade to open a roster spot and Koloko to get cleared for play (and signed to the regular roster). Olivari could then take the vacated 2 way contract. I don't seem them freeing up a 2 way contract for him otherwise.

Lakers get whooped again by 14 this time. Preseason I suppose. One and Three on the docket.

I wonder how much of their new plays they are using/showing in preseason. Warriors always play their main rotation players deep into preseason games, which the Lakers don't typically do, so it's tough to complete a comeback against them.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers came from behind and beat the Suns in the next-to-last Preseason game before the regular Season opener on October 22. AD looks in Season form. James sat out so Reaves played with more ball-handling duties and Knecht was awesome after a mini shooting Preseason slump.

Three studs from the Lakers' come-from-behind win over the Suns

The Lakers came back from a sizable fourth-quarter deficit to win for the second time in three games, and this time, the Suns were their victims.

The OG Snoop has dubbed our rookie as Westside Knecht.

LOL.

 

[Retroram52]

At the half, the Lakers are getting beat by 26 primarily because the W's are playing their starters while the Lakers are playing look-sees. Bronny has had some nice d plays but others are just playing hoping they make the final roster.

 

[Retroram52]

Olivari has 19 points at the half and is looking damn good at the Guard spot.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers also made some roster moves. Sent two packing and brought in one guard.

Lakers make three roster moves ahead of their final preseason game

The Lakers have waived two players and signed a guard to their roster

Like his father LeBron, Bronny misses another lay-up. Geez.

 

[Retroram52]

Well this game was over in the First Quarter. So I am out as the Lakers are headed for a loss in their last Preseason game.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bronny had 17 points (7 of 17 from the field), 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 assist, and 1 block.

 

[Retroram52]

Westside Knecht had 25 straight points and single-handedly brought the Lakers back against the Suns. Another steal of a draft pick. The Lakers now have some very good young players for the future and should abandon the trade-the-draft-picks-for-at-the-end-of-their-careers players like Jeremy Grant.

 

[Retroram52]

For sure!

Bronny James shines and Quincy Olivari makes a pitch to stay with the Lakers

Quincy Olivari finishes with 22 points and Bronny James scores 17 as the Lakers wrap up their preseason slate with a 132-74 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
