Lakers Predicted to Make Major Offseason Roster Upgrade After $10 Billion Sale: Report
Lakers Predicted to Make Major Offseason Roster Upgrade After $10 Billion Sale: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers aren't done making headlines. That's the main takeaway from an NBA team that has enjoyed one of the most active years so far. Advertisement After flipping 10-time All-Star center Anthony Davis — who was the second-best player on L.A.'s latest championship team, in 2020 — 3-and-D shooting guard Max Christie, and a 2029 first round draft pick to the Dallas Mavericks for five-time All-NBA First Teamer Luka Doncic, center/power forward Maxi Kleber, and combo forward Markieff Morris, Los Angeles totally reset its title window. Doncic was fresh off bringing the Mavericks to the 2024 NBA Finals at the time, and though he was somewhat limited by a calf injury, he was still an exciting force, helping the Lakers finish with a 50-32 record and the Western Conference's No. 3 seed. Los Angeles Lakers GM Rob Pelinka speaks before a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Mio-Imagn Images Still, the Lakers were exposed in the West playoffs, falling to the lower-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in a five-game first round series. Advertisement During a recent appearance on ESPN's "Get Up" morning show, NBA insider Brian Windhorst (hat tip to @LakersBetter) revealed that Los Angeles is expected to make a huge personnel change following the Buss family's reported $10 billion sale of the franchise to Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter. 'The market right now doesn't look super available for centers, but things are going to be changing over the next couple of weeks, and I do expect them, at some point, to make a significant move," Windhorst said. "They have some ammunition, both in tradeable contracts and draft capital—capital that they used to try to get Mark Williams until they rescinded that trade back in February. So they've shown interest in trying to be aggressive.' Beyond Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner, currently starring in the NBA Finals, the free agent centers available are all somewhat limited. Players like Brook Lopez and Clint Capela could likely be had for the non-taxpayer's mid-level exception. Advertisement Los Angeles has slowly rebuilt its draft equity now, and to Windhorst's point boasts multiple movable mid-tier contracts (plus one intriguing young player in 2024-25 rookie wing Dalton Knecht, who was a key piece in the scuttled Williams deal with the Charlotte Hornets) it could attach in a deal for a seasoned center. The Lakers need to shore up their frontcourt, especially defensively, if they hope to compete against the Oklahoma City Thunders and Denver Nuggets of the world.

Luka Doncic Sends Message to Jeanie Buss After Major Lakers News
Luka Doncic Sends Message to Jeanie Buss After Major Lakers News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers took the basketball world by storm when news broke on Wednesday that the Buss family agreed to sell a majority stake to Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter in a record $10 billion deal—the highest valuation in U.S. professional sports history (via ESPN). The sale brought an end to a 46-year stint of majority ownership, one that yielded 11 NBA titles and made the Lakers one of the most followed teams in all of sports. Advertisement This acquisition comes months after LA secured superstar Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in a landmark midseason trade aimed at ushering the next era of success for the franchise. Having Doncic and LeBron James on the same team instantly gives the new ownership a dual All-NBA core to work with—shifting the team into title-or-bust territory as the Lakers' front office prepares to invest in roster upgrades and championship infrastructure around their two stars.

Vasquez-Imagn Images In the wake of the big news, Doncic took to social media to acknowledge Jeanie Buss and the new owner while reaffirming his commitment to the franchise. 'The Lakers are an amazing organization,' Doncic posted on X. 'I'm looking forward to meeting Mark and excited about the future. I am also grateful to Jeanie and the Buss family for welcoming me to LA, and I'm happy that Jeanie will continue to be involved. I look forward to working with both of them to win championships!' Since joining the Lakers in February, Doncic has averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in the 28 regular season games he's played. His arrival transformed the Lakers into one of the West's elite offenses, instantly upping their championship ceiling, and aligns with the high standards expected under Walter's ownership. Advertisement The Lakers will now look to make the most of Doncic's time in Los Angeles and hopefully add to their already impressive championship résumé.

Wyndham Clark apologizes for his actions at US Open after social media reports that he damaged the locker room
Professional golfer Wyndham Clark expressed regret Thursday for his behavior at last week's US Open after reports on social media circulated that he had caused damage to Oakmont Country Club's venerated locker room. The course at Oakmont frustrated many of the world's best golfers last weekend and only one player, winner J.J. Spaun, finished under par. Clark did not make the cut to play over the weekend and finished at 8-over par. Following his missed cut, reports on social media circulated that Clark had caused damage to Oakmont's lockers after one of his rounds. At the Travelers Championship on Thursday in Connecticut, Clark apologized for his actions. 'I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year, some lows. I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened,' Clark told reporters at the tournament. 'But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of this year and things that come up. I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team. I still am on the outside looking in for the FedEx Cup. So I'm starting to move on and focus on those things.' He was far from alone in his anger last weekend. Many players were seen throwing clubs, slamming them in frustration, and cursing the brutal course. Clark tried to erase the memories of his disappointment at Oakmont with an opening round 6-under 64 on Thursday, putting him tied for second in the early afternoon. He was in a much better mood when he spoke with reporters than he was at the famous country club outside Pittsburgh. 'This place has always been kind of special to me. Getting my first start with Travelers, coming out of college, you don't know what to expect. It was my first ever Tour event, and having a little faith in me to give me that start – obviously I didn't play very well, but I remember leaving that year saying, 'OK, I'm going to win here someday,'' he said. 'I love this place, and it's special to me. So, regardless, if that happens, I'm always excited to come back to this course, this tournament. They treat us so well. Travelers does an amazing job. I'm happy to be here.' Clark is set to start his second round on Friday at 12:10 p.m. ET.
