Lakers Receive Bad News After NBA Trade Report
Lakers Receive Bad News After NBA Trade Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers have many questions to answer in the offseason, following a first-round exit in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. The Lakers, looking to return next season as title contenders will need to improve their rotation. A primary focus is acquiring a dominant big man to complement a roster that already features superstars Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Advertisement A glaring need for the Lakers is the addition of a rim-protecting center who can serve as a lob threat and provide physicality in the paint. The team's recent playoff performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves revealed the absence of such a presence, prompting the Lakers' front office to prioritize this position in their offseason plans. Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (27) gets the rebound against Lakers guard Austin Reaves (15) and forward LeBron James (23).Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images One name that has emerged as a potential fit for the Lakers is the Houston Rockets center Steven Adams. Known for his elite offensive rebounding and physical style of play, Adams projects as a natural candidate to fill the Lakers' void in the frontcourt. However, the Lakers' potential pursuit of Adams has encountered a significant hurdle. According to a new report, the Rockets have identified Adams as their top priority among their impending free agents, and are operating with the belief he can be extended. Advertisement According to Kelly Iko of the Athletic, 'Veterans Steven Adams, Jeff Green and Jae'Sean Tate will be unrestricted free agents as of June 30 — but of the trio, Adams is seen as the clear priority… Adams, who earned $12.6 million last season, would be a natural fit for teams such as San Antonio, New York, Indiana and both Los Angeles organizations. But the Rockets are operating under the assumption Adams wants to return — and will continue to speak with his representation about a possible extension' Assuming the Lakers truly do covet Adams, this latest report is bad news for them. Adams finished the 2024-25 season, averaging 3.9 points and 5.7 rebounds, while playing backup to starting center Alperen Sengun. His veteran presence played a key role in helping a young Rockets squad clinch the second seed in the Western Conference. With Adams potentially off the market, the Lakers will focus on exploring alternative avenues to address their need for a big man. The team's front office is expected to evaluate all possibilities to ensure they secure a player who can contribute immediately and enhance their championship aspirations.

NBA rumors: Rockets ‘anticipating' Celtics trade talks
The post NBA rumors: Rockets 'anticipating' Celtics trade talks appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 offseason is shaping up to be an important one for the Houston Rockets. Looking to shape their roster into a contender in the Western Conference, the Rockets could turn to both the free agent and trade market. Re-signing backup center Steven Adams is a priority, but the Rockets could engage the Boston Celtics in trade talks this offseason, as per Kelly Iko of The Athletic. Advertisement Heading into the offseason, the Celtics are expected to be active in potential trade talks as they look to shed salary coming into the 2025-26 season, as per ClutchPoints' NBA insider Brett Siegel. The Rockets are a team that could stand to benefit from trade talks with the Celtics. Of the players most likely to be moved in the offseason via trade, Kristaps Porzingis figures to be near the top of that list. The Celtics currently have the majority of their salary cap tied up in five players with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and Porzingis. Siegel reports that the Celtics want to hang on to Brown and White, with Holiday and Porzingis potentially being dangled in trades to offload salary. A potential Porzingis acquisition, provided that he is healthy, would be a massive pickup for the Rockets in terms of frontcourt depth. There's also the question of salary, however. Alperen Sengun is the Rockets' starting center, and it figures to be less expensive to re-sign Adams as the backup, something the team is reportedly keen on doing. While the Rockets are hoping to emerge as contenders following their No. 2 finish in the West standings, the Celtics are in a bit of a grey area following Tatum's Achilles injury during the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New York Knicks. His recovery period could potentially be all of next season, putting the Celtics' contending hopes temporarily on hold.

Sophomore Shane Torres takes control behind plate for Waubonsie Valley. But he can hit, too. ‘Irreplaceable for us.'
Shane Torres, who caught 25 games on the varsity as a freshman last spring, has been an anchor defensively for Waubonsie Valley throughout its surprising playoff run. And that's not a shock. Pitching has been key for the Warriors, but what happens behind the plate is just as important. 'He's one of the best there is,' Waubonsie coach Bryan Acevedo said of Torres. 'I truly believe that. He's able to handle all of our different pitchers and block everything in the dirt. 'We can have confidence we can throw anything in any count. Even with a guy on third base, we know it's not getting by him. And this year, he's added the offense. He's irreplaceable for us.' High praise, especially for a sophomore like Torres. And he was at it again Saturday. Torres handled a gem thrown by senior right-hander Nick Lambert as the 10th-seeded Warriors upset Downers Grove North 5-0 in the Class 4A Lockport Sectional final at Ed Flink Field. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Torres, who bats left-handed, also led the offense for surging Waubonsie (23-12) with two singles, a walk and two RBIs. 'He does an amazing job,' said Lambert, who did likewise in pitching a five-hitter with three strikeouts and no walks on just 75 pitches. 'He's a good framer, good blocker. 'He keeps the run game down, which really helps.' The Warriors also had just five hits, but took advantage of seven walks issued by three pitchers for the top-seeded Trojans (30-8), who didn't help their cause with three errors. Waubonsie didn't make an error behind Lambert, who followed up the first-rate effort in the semifinals by ace Owen Roberts. 'Nick has been unbelievable for us on the mound this year,' Acevedo said. 'He's gotten better every single time out. He threw some last year, and we talked in the offseason. He asked what he had to do to be in the rotation. 'I said, 'You're stuff has to be a little sharper,' and, jeez, did he do that. Owen gets a lot of notoriety, but Nick has been equally good. We play good defense behind him and find ways to score runs. It's special.' Last season, Waubonsie lost 3-2 to Downers Grove North in the sectional final on a walk-off homer in the seventh. Lambert, who last week pitched the Warriors to the regional title, didn't pitch that game in 2024 but still remembered. 'It gave me a little confidence,' Lambert said of winning the regional. 'But I did come in here pretty nervous. I try to work quick, throw strikes, let them put the ball in play and trust my defense.' Lambert finished it in style for the Warriors — who play Monday at 6 p.m. in the Illinois Wesleyan Supersectional against Normal Community (35-4), a 10-8 winner over O'Fallon — by fielding a comeback grounder and running it to first base himself. That clinched the program's first sectional title since Michael Bowden, who went on to play for the Chicago Cubs, led Waubonsie to the Class AA quarterfinals in 2005. 'We came in understanding we're playing with a little house money,' Acevedo said. 'We're not supposed to be here and that's helped us play loose. Having been here last year helped, too.' Senior right fielder Josh Hung also drove in two runs with a sacrifice fly and single. Roberts, playing second base, scored twice after reaching base three times. Torres, an academic all-conference pick who uses a wide stance at the plate that he developed on his own, said Waubonsie's approach was to be patient and not chase. And it worked out well. 'For me, it's a case of more simple, less movement,' Torres said. 'There's less head movement which helps me see the ball better.' Torres had a narrow stance with a huge leg kick in eighth grade. 'It didn't really work well, so I simplified it and came by it myself,' he said. 'With two strikes, I'd widen up a little bit and I'd hit better, so I thought, 'Why don't I just stay there?'' Little wonder his coach said of Torres, 'He's special.'
