An NBA writer is a firm believer that the Los Angeles Lakers should consider signing a familiar face this summer.

It appears Luka's new look is having an impact at sportsbooks. And one expert believes that L.A. is now a "real threat" to win it all.

As things stand, the Lakers appear set to enter the 2025-26 season with a center rotation that is awkward, at best. Ayton is probably the starter, with Jaxson Hayes behind him. Neither offers much defensively, and with the way the Lakers are built, that’s a major hindrance.

If there is a buyout, NBA insider Marc Stein has revealed which three teams would possibly be looking to bring him in. "I believe that the Warriors and the Knicks would be right there with the Mavericks IFFFF James became available via buyout," Stein posited.

No, LeBron James did not give any kind of ultimatum about his rating for NBA 2K26. The parody account NBA Centel posted that James wouldn't appear in the game unless he has a 99 overall rating. The post, seen by hundreds of thousands of people, isn't true.

NBA superstar Luka Dončić of the Los Angeles Lakers has transformed his body this offseason and sources in his camp believe he would have done this even if the Dallas Mavericks didn’t trade him last season,

Doncic met with reigning American League Aaron Judge, who signed a pair of pink spikes for his fellow big man before Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium.

Last summer, the only outside free agent the Los Angeles Lakers signed was Christian Koloko, a seven-footer who had been a second-round draft pick in 2022. He had missed all of the 2023-24 season due to a blood clot issue, and the Lakers, who badly needed center depth, signed him to a two-way contract.
