Make it happen...

What a perfect time to talk about Bronny James. Bronny last night against the Clippers: 17 PTS 5 REB 5 AST Not to mention, he balled out against No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg last week 😤 x.com/NBA/status/194…

Marcus Smart revealed what JJ Redick's expectations for him were, via ESPN LA: “JJ just wants me to be me. The person that I was in Boston, the person that he played against and had me chasing around when he was on the court playing.”

Thoughts on another insane Bleacher Report mock trade? 🙄👇 Lakers receive: Utah forward Lauri Markkanen, plus combo forward De'Andre Hunter and wing Max Strus from the Cavs Jazz receive: LeBron James, big man Maxi Kleber, guard Austin Reaves and forward Jarred Vanderbilt.

The Lakers consulted Luka Donic about a trade deal involving Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams, per ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst. Doncic had selected the 7-foot center out of a list of potential trade targets for the Lakers. 🧐

NBA insider Marc Stein thinks that James playing 25 seasons is possible. “I believe that LeBron playing 25 seasons, by contrast, is a legit possibility on the board...I think he will play at least 24. At that point why not go for a quarter-century?”

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed guard RJ Davis, forward Eric Dixon, forward Arthur Kaluma and guard Augustas Marčiulionis, via the NBA.

Kendrick Perkins says the Lakers signing Marcus Smart is a better move than the Clippers getting Bradley Beal: "The Lakers haven't had a defender like Smart since Alex Caruso... something that not only Luka needs around him, but also a guy like LeBron James."

Marcus Smart has said playing next to LeBron will open things up for him on the offensive end, via Spectrum SportsNet: “We all know his IQ in this game is ridiculous... Just to be able to soak it all in like a sponge is an opportunity that I’m blessed to be able to have.”

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed rookie guard Chris Mañon to a two-way contract after his impressive effort for Golden State’s summer league teams, per the NBA.

Name a better contested shot maker. We can wait. 🤫

Lebron James has suggested an OPOY for the NBA, drawing reference to the NFL: “You give an MVP and an OPOY… and it changes. It’s like ‘OK, so is it the best player? Is it the player that had the best season with their team? Maybe that’s OPOY.” Thoughts on this take? 🤔

put the fries in the bag

Bleacher Report explained why Kobe didn't make their top 10 all-time list, citing that "Shaq was the ThreePeat’s alpha." “During those three postseasons, Shaq led the Lakers in wins over replacement player, points, rebounds, blocks, minutes, and raw plus-minus.” Thoughts? 🤔

This a question? Tim a legend but we talking about Shaq here
