The Nick Young Redemption Song

October 23, 2016 by Dave Murphy

Nick Young may never quite be the same effervescent player he was for the Los Angeles Lakers three years back. Too much water has passed under the bridge and time has a habit of adding a layer of shade or two. But the fact that he’s still with the team is one of the most […]

Shawne Williams: This World, Then the Taillights

January 10, 2014 by Dave Murphy

Shawne Williams was given his walking papers on Tuesday. The Los Angeles Lakers roster now stands at 14. Ownership will save about a million bucks in combined salary and luxury tax. The story was covered here, and by other Lakers beat writers, but didn’t exactly ripple out into national headlines. Williams arrived in Los Angeles […]

All The Way From El Segundo

October 12, 2013 by Dave Murphy

The Los Angeles Lakers traveled to China yesterday for the first time as a team. It’s a pretty big deal on a lot of levels. As part of the NBA Global Games, the Lakers will play two matches against the Golden State Warriors. The first takes place in Beijing on Tuesday, October 15. The second […]

Nick Minnerath, One More Detour

September 20, 2013 by Dave Murphy

NBA training camps will soon open their doors. Well into the luxury tax and confined by the new CBA, the Los Angeles Lakers have been scooping up minimum salary free agents. There’s currently 15 guaranteed or partially guaranteed contracts, including more than a few wild cards – it will be that kind of season. Also […]

The 11th Man

September 13, 2013 by Dave Murphy

Mike D’Antoni went on the airwaves earlier this summer, theorizing about an 11-man Lakers rotation. On the one hand D’Antoni is as adverse to extended lineups as he is half-court basketball. Further, trying to speculate on what that rotation might look like, weeks before training camp even begins, is a sublimely ridiculous thing to do. […]

Wednesday Storylines

August 7, 2013 by Dave Murphy

In Dave McMenamin’s recent article on Pau Gasol, he references the mindset that management had about planning for the future. That of course had to do with Dwight Howard and the hope that he would eventually become the face of the franchise. This was a long running conversation, basketball fans watched throughout the season as […]

Friday Forum

July 26, 2013 by Dave Murphy

I always liked Adam Morrison’s game at Gonzaga, the way he’d play with pure passion, the way he led the nation in scoring the year they went to the Sweet 16. I felt bad that it didn’t work in Charlotte, felt bad that he blew out his knee. It’s how the game goes though. There […]

Wednesday Storylines

July 24, 2013 by Dave Murphy

Summer league is over and now the long wait until training camp begins. The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t in much of a position to do anything splashy between now and then. This is the time of year that used to be an absolute news vacuum. The internet changed all that of course. An ever-hungry beast […]

Wednesday Storylines

July 17, 2013 by Dave Murphy

Half the Lakers roster exited stage left in recent weeks – one way or another. Just as quickly and with little fanfare, the team has been filling holes on the cheap. Center Chris Kaman nabbed the mini mid-level exception and Jordan Farmar’s overseas buyout is still being negotiated. Gunner Nick Young was brought in as […]

Friday Forum

July 12, 2013 by Dave Murphy

Metta World Peace is no longer a Laker. Management finally played the amnesty card and that’s how it is. Personally, I think it’s a significant loss. The guy played hard, he played hurt and he’s coming off his best season as a Laker in points, rebounds, steals and blocks. The big question when he first […]
