GT Los Angeles Lakers coach Darvin Hamm. The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t have a lot of money to make off-season moves with LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook consuming most of the team’s money. As a result, the team relied mostly on bringing in young players on cheap deals. If the Lakers are going to be successful this season, they should hope that some of these young players will have years of hiatus. Fortunately, some got off to a great start in pre-season. Matt Ryan was recently signed to…

GT Utah Jazz guard owner Paisley. The Los Angeles Lakers’ swap deal for Kyrie Irving is no longer a sure thing.

GT Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook. Things are never boring with the Los Angeles Lakers. The team used their second-round pick from the Orlando Magic to draft Max Christie out of Michigan.
