Nick Young is Way Better Coming Off the Bench

November 6, 2013 by Daniel Rapaport

Earlier, I wrote a piece encouraging Nick Young to leave his ego at the door for the betterment of the team. In order to cash in on his talent, I reasoned, Young needed to evolve from the shameless gunner he’s been throughout his NBA career in order to fit Mike D’Antoni’s run and gun style […]

What the Lakers need from Nick Young

October 22, 2013 by Daniel Rapaport

When the Lakers signed Nick Young to a 2-year, $2.3 million deal, it seemed like a bargain for the purple (blue) and gold. Young is a solid 6-foot-6, is just 28-years old, has hometown ties (he grew up in the San Fernando Valley), and has shown the ability to score the basketball at each of […]

For the second time in three nights, the Lakers will host the Denver Nuggets in a preseason game to be played at Citizens Bank Business Arena in Ontario.

In the most marquee of match-ups, PG24 didn’t back down from LeBron James one inch and earned the […]

Finding Excitement in a Season with Diminished Expectations

September 12, 2013 by Daniel Rapaport

A particular moment from last year’s annual Lakers preseason hype sticks out like a sore thumb. The excitement in L.A. was tangible; the Lakers, in typical Laker fashion, had just managed to inject life into the twilight of Kobe’s dwindling career by pulling off one of the best summers in NBA free agency history. Kobe […]

September 4, 2013 by Daniel Rapaport

On Tuesday, GM Mitch Kupchak announced the signing of Shawne Williams, a 6’9” forward who can play either forward spot, to a 1-year contract for the minimum. The contract is only partially guaranteed. The 27-year old Williams will be reunited with Coach Mike D’Antoni, under whom who had his best season in 2010-11 while playing for […]
