Luka Doncic, an ex-Dallas Mavericks star, hasn’t looked depressed in a Lakers uniform, but he’s yet to indicate he wants to compete with Los Angeles for the long haul. If a contract extension doesn't materialize this summer, Sir Charles in Charge’s Michael Saenz believes a blockbuster free-agency trade could occur.

Replicating the Knicks, Pacers and Thunder won't be easy for LA. But each team offers something instructive for the offseason.

Kobe Bryant's eldest daughter, Natalia Bryant, graduated from college on Saturday. Interestingly, the NBA legend's team, the Los Angeles Lakers, played a role in the celebration. Natalia Bryant graduated cum laude with a degree in film from the University of Southern California.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend will also have his distinct mark at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Designed by Kobe's widow, Vanessa Bryant, the emblem variation is inspired by his logo and black mamba spirit.

There's also a scenario where the Raptors could trade some of their top players and attempt to get assets in return. One of them could be Jakob Poeltl, who Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype reported the Los Angeles Lakers would be interested in if the Raptors make him available.
