Jalen Duren's contract demands could shift the narrative on Walker Kessler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Los Angeles Lakers sent the Jazz two unprotected first-round picks and two first-round pick swaps in a sign-and-trade for Walker Kessler at the beginning of the offseason, and he inked a four-year, $130 million deal. Because of what LA gave up for him and the contract he signed, the move has been largely viewed as an overpay. It could be seen in a new light if the Pistons give Jalen Duren what he's looking for (subscription required), as reported by Sam Amick and Hunter Patterson of The Athl
Mark Williams' unfortunate injury validates the Lakers' bet on Walker Kessler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Los Angeles Lakers thought they had landed their center of the future before the February 2025 deadline, shortly after they landed Luka Dončić. LA's newest superstar let the front office know he wanted to play with a lob threat, and Rob Pelinka delivered on that request by trading Mark Williams. Or, at least he thought he did, but the team rescinded the trade after a failed physical. Since then, the Lakers have been proven right not to move forward with the Williams trade. The main critique
Lakers' Kawhi Leonard revenge over Clippers just got a whole lot sweeter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The basketball gods were doing the Los Angeles Lakers a favor in 2019 when Kawhi Leonard chose to sign with the Clippers in free agency. The sting of not landing him was quickly forgotten, as LA went on to win it all the next season, with the Lakers getting the last laugh, but as it turns out, they've gotten to enjoy a lot more laughs, with the biggest of all coming on September, 2, 2026 (yes, today). The NBA announced punishments stemming from its year-long investigation into the Clippers' cap
Lakers' Jonathan Kuminga pursuit may have been doomed from the start (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Los Angeles Lakers spent the past couple of months pursuing Jonathan Kuminga, but on Wednesday he agreed to sign a two-year, $12.4 million deal with the Timberwolves, turning down a three-year, $36 million offer from LA. His contract with Minnesota will have a player option in the second season, so he chose to bet on himself once again. As Brian Windhorst said on Friday's episode of the Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective podcast, the forward didn't want a three-year deal, which is the min
Lakers may have reason to be glad Peyton Watson hopes didn't pan out (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Peyton Watson was one of the top players on the Los Angeles Lakers' radar entering the offseason, but the restricted free agent they ended up with was Walker Kessler. That doesn't mean they couldn't have gone after the wing, but the Nuggets' price was enough to keep them away (and would Denver have really sent him to LA?), and he ended up in Cleveland instead. There may be a positive for Los Angeles in that, more than him leaving a rival. On Aug. 21's episode of the Game Over with Max Kellerman
