With their need for a center and two superstars on different timelines, the Lakers are getting lots of attention — and understandably so.

The second-year guard says he doesn't pay attention to the rumors about his superstar father possibly seeking a trade. "He just tell me not to worry about it."

Although Bronny James tries to stay off all social media, that strategy didn't stop one of his friends from calling him up this week and asking him about LeBron James' thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers' direction — and what it all might mean for Bronny's future.

After signing Myles Turner, the Milwaukee Bucks decided to waive and stretch Damian Lillard to open up cap space. That has given the Los Angeles Lakers a major opportunity. Adding Lillard would be a very intriguing option for the Lakers.

While the center spot has been the obvious focus of the Los Angeles Lakers' 2025 NBA offseason, it's not the only position in need of an upgrade.

Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a 1st-round exit, and next season will be Luka’s first full season with the Lakers. Jason McIntyre says that the Lakers will be fine with Luka taking charge.

The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off one of the most stunning trades in recent NBA history by acquiring Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline this past season.

With Luka Doncic and LeBron James getting an entire season to compete alongside each other in Los Angeles, it’s reasonable to suggest the organization is an outstanding center away from putting it all together in 2025-26.
