The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

Good win last night.

AD and Bron with their usual good performances.....Hachimura continues to tease us with what he is capable of.....Reaves showed he can play PG. And Gabe with his best offensive performance as a Laker probably.....he is starting to come around this season. And Christinue continued his nice offense this season.

IDK about this move. Getting rid of Olivari for who?

Lakers are making two curious roster moves ahead of game versus Heat

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly making two very curious roster moves, and one of them is sure to annoy their fan base.

Trey Jamison, 6'11 260 lb C. Maybe he's the backfill for Koloko (who has used a considerable amount of his 50 game availability at the pro level already).

Sad to see Olivari get moved, he'll get signed elsewhere pretty quickly (Warriors?). Would be cool if the Lakers had a 2-1 or 3-1 trade imminent and could sign him to the active roster, but I doubt it at this point.

 

[shopson67]

Looks like DFS is not playing tonight and the Lakers' lead is only 2 points.

He's out for personal reasons (the birth of his child), should be back for the next game.

 

[shopson67]

Pelinka sittin' on his hands and he waited too long. What a pile of dogshit of GM this guy is!

A Lakers big man trade target is now off the board

One defensive-minded backup center the Lakers have been linked to has reportedly been acquired by another team.

www.yahoo.com

He had been a favorite target for a lot of people, but in the end he's a backup C on a bad team. He would be an upgrade over Hayes for sure, but that's a low bar to clear. Hopefully they add someone at C before the deadline, I don't know if I can take much more with Hayes as the main C depth.

The Lakers hold on with some decent Defense and they pull away with a 9-point bulge. Even Vincent had 14 points tonight. Very good scoring but they have GOT TO LEARN TO PLAY CONSISTENT DEFENSE, ESPECIALLY DOWN THE STRETCH!!

There were definitely some head-scratching moments. They continue to switch too much and leave help off of the 3 pt line to their own peril. Some of tonight's issues were just Herro being on fire for most of the game. Good to seem them finish a game and get the win after the last few.

They really need another creator/PG on this roster. Too many bad decisions on passes that have little chance for success, not to mention lazy crosscourt passes that are just ripe for steals. Reaves is trying hard, but letting him play off ball at times might get him going offensively and save more energy for the defensive end.

Spot on Shopson on all points. I watched the entire affair and I think I still have some hair left scratching my head every frikin three minues or so. lol.

And they sent Kokolo down to the G-league as well. I don;t know if that was a good move or not. The Lakers def still need help at the point and the back-up Center positions for sure!!

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers might have given-up too many draft assets to get DFS and Milton but that is certainly open for debate. The Lakers really need a sharp shooting PG and of course that big back-up Center and they may just have to wait until the Draft for both.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers are moving forward to completion of the addition of the new Center, Trey Jemison from the Pelicans.

Koloko is a 2 way player, is only eligible to be active for 50 NBA games.

They don't have a 1st in the upcoming draft, just their 2nd and the Clippers 2nd.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers cannot afford to lose this game tonight.

The Russell revenge game? LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

My parlay on the game....

 

[DJ Fieri]

That's very doable

 

[Retroram52]

We are behind the Nets and Jemison, Vincent, Milton and Western Knecht have 0 points between them. AD is not playing. Another pointless player signing so far. DFS is nowhere to be found.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers came back at the end of the First Quarter to take a 1-point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

DRuss isn't playing much so far. He only has 2 points.

 

[Retroram52]

James and Christie are the Lakers high scorers.

 

[Retroram52]

Nets have increased the lead by 5 points already here in the Second Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Jemison def knows how to play D though. Blocked DRuss's shot and got the rebound.
