Lakers coach JJ Redick, who lost his home in the Palisades fire, is back on the ground helping rebuild — literally, with a shovel at the groundbreaking of the new Palisades Recreation Center. Joined by Mayor Karen Bass and city officials, Redick, co-founder of LA Strong Sports, helped turn tragedy into progress as construction kicks off for a $50M public-private project set to restore indoor courts, community rooms, and new play areas. The demolition of the historic 76-year-old gym sparked debate, but the modernized facility promises a brighter future for the neighborhood — and it’s a rare uplifting moment for Lakers fans this season.

The Lakers are betting everything on Luka Doncic as they rebuild around him, saying goodbye to LeBron and welcoming back familiar faces like Jaden Hardy — who recalls how Doncic lifted his game in Dallas. With Doncic now leading the charge, coach JJ Redick and the roster are counting on his star power to steer them into a new era. Even before the season starts, Doncic’s leadership is already showing: he funded a bonding trip to Slovenia, where chemistry blossomed. This isn’t just a roster overhaul — it’s a full transformation, and the Lakers are hoping this move sends shockwaves through the league.

Lakers drama heats up as Buss family feud erupts: Five siblings vote to sell shares to Todd Boehly’s group, leaving Jeanie Buss as the lone holdout—triggering a legal showdown and forcing her off the governor’s seat. While NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stays focused on league priorities, the spotlight remains on the team’s ownership chaos—until the season kicks off and everyone turns back to the court.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver defended the league’s vetting of Mark Walter’s Lakers purchase, saying due diligence found no red flags at the time—despite Walter now selling his stake for a huge profit amid federal scrutiny over disclosure issues. Silver stressed the review was standard and that current allegations aren’t confirmed findings. Complicating matters, the Buss family’s power struggle and Jeanie Buss’s uncertain future as governor add chaos as the team heads into Media Day with ownership in flux and new buyers’ approval still pending.

Luka Doncic’s scoring title reign continues as the Lakers celebrate with a custom bobblehead giveaway on November 1st against the Raptors — capturing his iconic floater in vivid detail. With his second scoring crown and sixth All-NBA First Team nod, Luka averaged over 33 points per game — his career-high second-best mark. The Lakers are fully building around him, bringing in key pieces like Walker Kessler and Quentin Grimes, while most of last year’s roster is gone — except for Austin Reaves, who’s already cracking jokes about the new collectible. While his offense is undeniable, defense remains a work in progress — even former players like Trevor Ariza are urging the team to tighten up on that end if they hope to truly contend. For Luka, this season is about leading LA back to championship glory — he’s already been to the Finals and now aims to make it happen in Hollywood.

The Lakers are making major strides this offseason, bolstering their front office with two high-caliber hires amid ongoing ownership changes.

Lakers are betting big on chemistry as they bring in Jaden Hardy—Luka Doncic’s former teammate—to fuel their championship push. Hardy, traded from the Wizards in a deal sending Deandre Ayton and picks to D.C., is thrilled to reunite with Luka and Quentin Grimes, praising Luka’s leadership during his rookie year and their deep playoff run together. Luka warmly welcomed Hardy back, eager to get to work. With scoring averages over 12 PPG and elite shooting, Hardy could slot into a key bench role, offering instant offense and locker-room synergy for the Lakers’ title ambitions.

Lakers just added a statue for Phil Jackson—his ninth honor in the Star Plaza. But Magic Johnson’s already pushing for Dr. Jerry Buss, the visionary owner who built the franchise into a dynasty with 10 titles and reshaped NBA ownership. With Buss gone since 2013, the call is growing louder: it’s time to immortalize him. After him? James Worthy or Pau Gasol are top contenders, but with so many legends, the debate is heating up over who truly deserves their own statue.
