Outside of Kevin Love and the addition of the 25th pick, it sounds like

"I'm hearing that [LeBron's] likely coming back [to the Lakers]. ... Kevin Love could likely be joining the Lakers too."
@MarcJSpears gives some insight on what could be next for LeBron 🏀

this actually makes a stronger argument for the Lakers to not bring LeBron back at all lol

The Utah Jazz are NOT expected to reach an agreement on a rookie contract extension with Keyonte George, per @BannedMacMahon
“In order to be comfortable paying George at a number approaching the rookie extension maximum, Utah's front office needs to see him build on his breakout campaign next season.”

Top 3 Worst contracts in @Lakers history.
1) Rust: 1yr - 44m (Traded)
2) Deng: 4yrs - 72m (stretched)
3) Mozgov: 4yrs - 64m (Traded)
Austin Reaves is about to join some elite company.

It’s legitimately baffling the lengths people will go to defend the Lakers — especially at a time people seriously doubt this front office. I guess the internet is right. Critical thinking is at an all-time low.

Even without someone with an assistant GM title, they aren’t flying blind. Bennett’s been involved for months now

Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes are players the Lakers would prioritize bringing back as they aim to build around Luka Doncic, per @DanWoikeSports.
Lakers want to build a core similar to the one Luka took the Mavs to the Finals in 2024.

Less than a week ‘til the draft and the Lakers haven’t hired the assistant GM who would be focused on… the draft.
They’ve had weeks. This is pretty disappointing.

I think Pelinka is probably secretly hoping Ayton picks up that option cuz I think he knows he’s not getting any high level center this summer and would rather run it back at that low price on a one year deal than having to find another stop gap or pay Ayton more

If true, good lord. Pelinka has to go.

Per Dan Woike of The Athletic, the Lakers see the 2026 free agency class as "weak" and trades are now the real path to building around Luka.
🔸 Restricted FA options (Kessler, Duren, Williams, Eason, Watson) considered a "poor Plan A" — current teams expected to match
🔸 Lakers can be aggressive in trades up until June 30
🔸 LeBron's Bird rights = the Lakers can operate as an over-the-cap team
🔸 Their own FA's (LeBron, Reaves, Rui, Kennard, Ayton, Smart, Hayes) are among the BEST on the market
Pelinka's playbook: keep the core, trade for the upgrade. Forget free agency.

Smfh we really gon run it back w/ this mid ass team. Gon be worse if we overpay for guys like AR thus hampering our ability to get elite role players.
Let Bron walk. Sign n trade AR if possible. Now’s the time to use our big cap space & draft picks to build around Luka

There were reports of Utah turning down an offer of 2 1sts for Kessler at the deadline so I’m sorry if I don’t buy they will S&T him to LAL for a freak protected first and a swap lol. At the end of the day they can still just match him and tell him to get over it. A S&T probably starts at that 2 pick offer at this point
