2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Yeah, good assessment. but I like to be tested early. We can't take any games from granted and I think it's a win-win situation. We either win to a team that might be fighting for the same seed as us and gain motivation in the group or we lose and light a fire to get serious very early in the season

 

I am looking forward to game vs Minnesota,GSW doesn't excite me anymore and I think it's easy Lakers win

 

And GSW still considered to be a second best team in West lol

 

Enough of this b*******.

Austin Reaves is him. As he stands set to start his most important season of his career. This is his Team. He’s homegrown. He is our Laker.

just as much as Luka it’s his. Take that torch from Jerry to Magic to Kobe. You’re homegrown Austin and we are here for it.

the steady improvement every season.

He can do everything you want on a court. Just as Jalen Williams he can do it all.

so take over and help Luka. They can’t stop us. We got two guards forwards who can run pick and roll. Shoot the three make free throws.

I’m here for it. For the Austin Reaves show.

let’s go Lakers game time. Season tip off Lakers warriors.

Lakers should get this Austin deal done this week. Sign the extension.

I hope they make Austin a co-captain.

 

Lol..I'm pragmaticly optimistic on all of that.

 

reaves should sign for well under market value this week? because he's jerry west?

 

Sign to get the deal done with both parties so we don’t have this hanging over our head. He’s a franchise cornerstone.


Nobody’s calling him Jerry West but he is taking that mantle that torch. He is a Laker. He put the hard work in.

and he can be any player he wants. He can be a Laker legend. Just cause he was drafted in the second round means jack s***.

you know who else was a second round pick??? Nikola Jokic. And he’s greatest Denver nugget of all time. And one of the best Centers of all time.

Austin Reaves can be as good as he wants to be.

 

The players union would be pissed if Reaves signed an extension right now lol. He'll make probably $10 million more a year on the deal he gets next summer than what he's eligible to extend for right now.

 

yeah, tonight's an automatic loss. probably gonna start 0-2 with minny coming up after GS

still expecting this team to be a play-in team with lebron likely in and out of the lineup all season

 

The “we” certainly doesn’t include AR. He’d be screwed by 10M or more each year AGAIN by AGAIN taking Lakers’ contract extension ... limited by CBA raise rules … for his time in service as an undrafted player. Your second sentence doesn’t compute with the first.

 

i think you're missing both of my points?

there will be hot dog stand questions.

 

I think we can hang with gsw for 2 quarters. Our 3s will eventually dry out and then lose by 8

 

Book it. Lakers win tonight 98-93.

 

I think GSW can't hung with Luka for 2 quarters,if he's playing like for Slovenia in FIBA it's going to be blowout

 

they can't guard luka or AR; we can't guard steph or jimmy. their role players are better and have more experience playing in their system.

it's one nba game--on opening night no less--so wild stuff can happen. but full-strength gs is clearly a much better team than the lebron-less lakers. no shame in that.

 

Fixed it for ya

 

The season is here!! Let's go kick some a**!! Go Lakers!!!




F the Firecrackers too!!

 

I would like to take a magic pill, put on shorts, and go play basketball today, because that’s who I am. It’s exactly for this kind of competition… rivalry… that I live. And I miss it,” MJ

 

My man!
