Something’s cooking at the Los Angeles Lakers, and only Luka Doncic, JJ Redick, and Rob Pelinka know the recipe.
The Lakers’ 2024-25 season wrapped up in a pretty disappointing way. And LeBron James’ sprained MCL only added to the disgust.
The team was unable to take advantage of a rough night for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who missed a staggering 40 three-point attempts.
The Lakers ended their playoff run with a 103-96 loss in Game 5, and now they’re facing a summer full of uncertainty. However, with what we are seeing lately, LA is planning something big.

This sighting comes at a time when LeBron is not 100% sure about his future at the Lakers camep.
