Report: The Lakers Actually Wanted Good Players Instead Of The Bad Players They Signed

Paul George Believes The Thunder "Haven’t Gotten A Fair Whistle All Year"<em></em>
The Thunder accomplished a rare feat in their 118-110 loss to the Clippers on Friday that they probably won’t think fondly of when the season finally ends for them. For the second time in the past 10 seasons, three starters fouled out before the end of regulation: Paul George, Russell Westbrook and ...
Residents Face Sky-Rocketing Rents As NFL Takes Over Inglewood
Earlier this week, lawmakers in Inglewood, California pushed through a rent stabilization ordinance that seeks to protect residents who are struggling to stay in their homes due to surging rents in the area.

Report: The Lakers Are Giving Up
This has been an awfully shocking season for LeBron James and his Lakers, and it’s only getting worse, as L.A. currently sits 6.5 games out of the playoffs, having lost eight of their last ten. Still, this team hadn’t fully packed it in yet, or at least “sources” told Shams Charania on Wednesday tha...
This Is Maybe The Most Depressing Play Of LeBron's Entire Career
The Lakers lost again Wednesday night, their fourth loss in a row, and eighth in ten games. Since January 1 they’re a crummy 9–19, and they’re now five games under .500 with 17 left to play, and 6.5 back of the Western Conference eighth seed. They’re dead....
Report: The Lakers May Have Leaked The Trade Offer Details That Nuked Their Own Team Chemistry
The whole Anthony Davis trade deadline saga was twisted up and poisoned by posturing and strategic leaking and all the passive-aggressive indirect communication that could be crammed into a day, each day, for a solid two weeks. But Brian Windhorst’s delicious scoop—that the Pelicans conducted trade ...
The Angels Would Like Bryce Harper To Stop Talking About Recruiting Mike Trout
Brand new Philadelphia Phillie Bryce Harper caught everyone’s attention when he told reporters that he plans on calling Angels superstar Mike Trout to recruit him to Philadelphia when Trout’s contract expires in 2020.

Patrick Beverley Buried The Lakers On The Court Then Spit On Their Grave<em></em>
After last night’s loss to their co-tenant Los Angeles Clippers, the Lakers are 2-5 since LeBron James activated his “playoff intensity level,” a spell that means they’re probably super dead. As losses go, this one was perfectly emblematic of how the entire season has gone for both L.A. clubs; the L...

LeBron's A PR Guy Now
If The Oprah Winfrey Show was television’s premier destination for celebrities, often in the aftermath of something qualifying as a public relations scandal, seeking to buff their public images by applying (while pretending to strip off) a few new layers of polish in collaboration with the willing ...

The Lakers Are Exhausted And Depleted And Probably Dead
It can seem a little cheesy and cherry-picked to focus much criticism on LeBron’s play-to-play effort for these fading Lakers. For one thing, this roster is a complete mess, and the team’s on-court chemistry is currently in the toilet, and everyone is screwing up all the time. For another, LeBron is...
The Lakers Are So Toxic Right Now That Carmelo Anthony Would Rather Stay Home
In January, after the Rockets finally accepted that they couldn’t get any money for Carmelo Anthony at the consignment store and just left him on the curb instead, it seemed likely that he’d head to Los Angeles to link up with his chum LeBron James.

Anthony Davis Tried Hard Not To Smile At LeBron James's Dagger
On Wednesday night, Anthony Davis showed the Lakers what they missed out on by, uh, offering their entire team to a chaotic New Orleans front office that had no desire to let its superstar move to California: in just 21 minutes of *cough* injury-mandated *cough* court time, Davis went 10-for-14 from...

Clippers Broadcast Crew Jokes About What Robert "Tractor" Traylor's Up To These Days, Forgets He Died<em></em>
During the first quarter of Monday’s Mavericks-Clippers game, Clippers announcers Ralph Lawler and Don MacLean took a look back and discussed the draft day trade that sent Dirk Nowitzki (and Pat Garrity) to Dallas in 1998, in exchange for Robert “Tractor” Traylor to Milwaukee. Such a lopsided trade...
It's Now Or Never For LeBron And The Lakers
The day before the Lakers returned to action after the all-star break, LeBron James told reporters, “My playoff intensity level has been activated.” Let’s check in now on that playoff intensity level....
