Dalton Knecht deserves a fresh start if Lakers don't have a role for him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's been a tough two years for Dalton Knecht with the Los Angeles Lakers. He turned heads during the first few months of his rookie season in 2024-25, but a failed mid-season trade set the stage for what's become a tenure of stagnation and regression. Though Knecht shoulders his share of the blame for what's gone wrong, if the Lakers don't have a role for him, then they should make him the player they move to trim the roster to 15. Thankfully for the former Tennessee Volunteers star, it may be
Walker Kessler’s enigmatic jumper could take Lakers offense from deadly to unstoppable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Los Angeles Lakers center Walker Kessler made 11 threes through his first three NBA seasons, including six in 58 appearances in 2024-25. He then buried six threes in his first five games in 2025-26—only to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on his non-shooting shoulder.

Walker Kessler's "nasty" defense prediction depends on three key teammates (opens the original)

Doncic is the franchise player and reigning league leader in both poin
Lakers’ dramatic improvement at center is about more than just Walker Kessler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Los Angeles Lakers traded Deandre Ayton, let Jaxson Hayes walk in free agency, and invested in three new centers: Walker Kessler, Kevon Looney, and Sandro Mamukelashvili. Each of the newcomers brings something different to the table, and each represent a collective improvement at a pivotal position. In addition to upgrading over Ayton as a starter by signing Kessler, the Lakers have improved their depth and created a degree of rotational versatility that they simply lacked in 2025-26. The ha
Luka Doncic has no more excuses on defense as Lakers’ lineup comes into focus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It took a season-and-a-half but the Los Angeles Lakers have finally completed an offseason during which they had the resources to build a team that fits Luka Doncic. They prioritized defense, shooting, and offensive versatility as they constructed a roster that suits Doncic's strengths and weaknesses alike. Though the Lakers' on-paper defensive improvement is intriguing, it also means there are no more excuses for Doncic to not pull his weight on that end of the floor. Los Angeles invested four-
