JJ REDICK S/B CANDIDATE FOR COACH OF YEAR! What JJ Redick has done with this team despite LeBron, Luka, and Austin missing big chunks of games and the obvious roster flaws the front office was not willing to fix until next summer has been unbelievable. If the Lakers can replicate what they've done in the last 11 games in the 13 remaining games, Redick could be a serious candidate for Coach of the Year. You can go down the Lakers roster from LeBron to Deandre to see how JJ has done a marvelous job of keeping guys accountable and building mutual trust and respect. The chemistry and culture that Redick and his staff have built with leadership of the Big Three is clearly something I have not seen from a Lakers team since 2020. Like every Lakers fan, I began to have serious doubts that the this year's team could finish the season strong. After the Lakers bounced back and routed the Warriors and Kings, I made an over-the-top uber-optimistic prediction that the Lakers would over an 11-game stretch leapfrog from #6 to #3 in the West with tiebreakers over #4, #5, and #6 teams in the West by increasing assists, reducing turnovers, taking and making more threes, and playing harder on defense. As the Lakers commenced to do exactly what I predicted, I was elated with how we were playing and continued to document how the Lakers were suddenly transforming themselves into juggernauts at both ends of the court. Last night's game gave me shivers. It reminded me of the 2020 Lakers team whose domination of Clippers and Nuggets in a regular season weekend convinced us that this team could win a championship. For the first time, I seriously think the Lakers have what it could take to pull-off a miraculous season. The key? It's the Lakers 20-6 'clutch' games record. We've seen it over and over during the last 3 weeks. It's the one statistic that even injuries to Luka, LeBron, and Austin couldn't mask. No other team has the closers the Lakers do. In the end, that's why they're going to have a real shot at winning the championship.

@LukaUpdates Lakers fans loving it, Rockets fans, not so much….

All the crowd reactions to Luka talking shit 😂 IG/donciccenter

Lakers are paying championship style games at the right time of the season! #18 on the way…

Lakers fans right now…

@Jacobtheclipper @thetailgateapp Man up…

When I tell you Wemby and Chet would QUIT basketball if they had to play Shaq I am not exaggerating… He made defensive giants look like kids trying to guard him 🔥 (@thetailgateapp)

@Yinoma2001 @deadboylyfee

@deadboylyfee Not worth it. Build a deeper team around Luka/AR. I would use 2026 FRP to draft a center, and then you have 2 FRPs to be opportunistic in the season. Build the team using room exception and cap space.

Ngl is it even worth it for the Lakers to go after Giannis? - 31 years old and has suffered a bunch of lower body injuries this season alone - The fit might not be there between him and Luka offensively - The Lakers will have no assets remaining to build around a Luka/Giannis duo if they pulled off that trade

@Shane00 Humble Ayton & High Flying Hayes. Just need a SHAQ type next year to round out the three.

League is cooked. We got humble Ayton

@ArashMarkazi The LA intrigue…wait until the Lakers learn how to navigate the NBA cap.

Important note for LA sports fans: The LA Sparks are owned by Mark Walter and the Dodgers ownership group. They broke ground on a 55,000-square-foot, $150 million practice facility that will open next year. There are over 100 WNBA free agents. The Sparks are in it to win it now.

@LALMuse @DanWoikeSports Sometimes it takes a season in a new environment to realize your value.

Deandre Ayton says he looked in the mirror, realized who he needed to be and says he’s 110% bought in, per @DanWoikeSports He told himself: “You came LA to be the effort guy and close out possessions, rebound. Run the floor hard as hell, make bigs work, make superstars work.”

@TheNBABase @LakersDailyCom Makes no sense. How? There will no depth. Can someone provide a scenario of possibility and Austin Reaves is not involved. Additionally, Giannis would have to play off-ball. I don’t think that would work and he has not perimeter game.

The Lakers are expected to pursue a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer, per @LakersDailyCom “The Lakers are expected to pursue a trade for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, sources said.”

@PlayoffDude Diffuse the Rockets

I don’t see us losing today vs Houston, man. Another Luka masterclass incoming. 🤝🏽

@LakerCj Go forth…

Thank you for everyone giving me some traction these days. I have some bigger plans for this account down the road. Once I get over a 1000 followers I might look into streaming.

@LakerMetropolis Good choices!

@ArthurLBurrisJr KCP, my bad lmao

Both CP3 and Danny Green

@DonniganMark I like this along with the scenario (scene).

Most writing frameworks overcomplicate storytelling. This 5-sentence structure cuts through the noise: scene, conflict, attempt, result, lesson. Pair it with a single what if question to generate the spark. Simple beats clever every time. Listen here to learn more: marketingexecutionpodcast.podbean.com/e/how-to-write… #B2BContent

Founders, what type of SaaS are you building, and which type is the most lucrative? B2C B2B B2B2C

@esidery So can the $500 million that goes to individual teams be used to acquire players and not be considered going over the cap? Because the Lakers would load up.

If the NBA’s two expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle fetch a combined $15+ billion in sale value, over $500 million each would be distributed to the other 30 teams. Another salary explosion is on the horizon post-expansion.
