Los Angeles Lakers Rumours

21 Aug 2026 16:09:36
Two restricted player left:
1. Jalen Duren and the Pistons still negotiating.. probably 34-40 M per year??
2. With Beal and Strus and having Dick in incoming trade, Mathurin will be on another team.. Bulls, Pelicans and Bucks are the primarily suitors..


I'm still awaiting DeRozan to be in Nuggets, Heat or Raptors for a vet minimum..

but Heat could lose the chance because they're awaiting Klay from Mavs for buyout or via trade..

Jonathan Kuminga is another Big name that could land in Lakers or TWolves via sign and trade..

If these names are already sign up, it's time to start the NBA..

18 Aug 2026 16:22:16
The Heat are waiting for Klay... so they can sign him 8M remaining cap and others will be sign with bargain contracts...

Suitors for these 4 FA...

DeRozan- Heat, Nuggets, Wizards and Raptors

Kuminga- Lakers and Cavs

Watson- Cavs and Clippers

Mathurin- Bulls, Pelicans and Bucks

Grizzlies and Jazz can help them to be the 3rd team in sign and trade deal.

17 Aug 2026 23:12:44.
Hot names in offseason:
1. Jalen Duren and the Pistons still negotiating his contract.
2. James Harden still awaiting Cavs to make a move prior signing.
3. Klay Thompson eager to contend or "to move out" Heat, Lakers and Warriors are the frontrunners.
4. Four good players are still available, DeRozan, Kuminga, Watson and Mathurin.
5. Kawhi going to Raptors is still on hold.

PHI/LAL

PHI get Rui Hachimura s&t

LAL get Quentin Grimes s&t + 2nd round pick

I don't know if that’s possible, I think Rui is the perfect 4 for Philly and they don't have space to sign him outright. Lakers add another asset to help unload Vando/Laravia’s contract

Lakers- Ziaire Williams s&t

Nets - Deandre Ayton

Lakers resign Hayes

Doncic-Sexton-Bronny
Reaves-Knecht
Grimes-Williams-Laravia

Time for Thiero to develop, he is a solid athletic forward that can fit with Luka’s game.

01 Jul 2026 09:53:16
Grizzlies get Jalen Suggs.
Magic get Santi Aldama, Scottie Pippen, and the least favorable 2027 first-round pick between the Grizzlies, Jazz, and Lakers.

Lakers add the pick to get Claxton as new rim runner for Luka

Lakers add shooters and let the Luka Doncic era officially begin

Doncic-Merrill
