JJ Redick credited the Lakers for responding with a "complete performance" tonight.

"Hopefully we can find that consistency."

JJ Redick on LeBron:

"It's remarkable. His competitive stamina is off the charts."

Luka Doncic:

"Tonight was great. We knocked down shots, so it was very fun out there."

Luka Doncic says he wasn't feeling 100% tonight but "I always want to play."

He added: "It's a little bit worse than yesterday, but I'll be fine."

"I think you all know by now, Rich is his own man and what Rich says is not a direct reflection of me and how I feel," James told ESPN on his way out of Crypto.com Arena.

"And I hope people know that. I hope people know that and if they're not sensible to know that, then I don't know what to tell them."

"Rich, that's what he's doing," James told ESPN. "That's his whole thing. That's what he's doing.

That's what he's talking about, but I have zero conversations about what his topics are going to be or what they are going to talk about. He is his own man and that is his platform."

"One of Reaves' agents, Reggie Berry of AMR Agency, approached Paul on the sidelines near halfcourt at halftime of the Lakers-Hawks game.

The two of them spoke for more than five minutes and the topic of conversation was Paul's public trade scenario about Reaves, sources told ESPN.

James said there was no fallout between him and Reaves, who is his longest tenured teammate on the Lakers, after the podcast episode."

"AR knows how I feel about him," James told ESPN.

"All you got to do is look at us on the bench. Me and AR talk every single day.

So, AR knows how I feel about him and I hope AR -- or his camp -- don't look at me and think this is words from me are coming through Rich.

"Rich has his perspective of what he sees, I have my perspective.

I'm a grown man, he's a grown man and I think people should realize that grown men can say whatever the f--- they want to say and it shouldn't reflect somebody else is saying it."

Let’s just say Kobe earns a regular contract and 15th roster spot, who would you want to take his 2 way?

I have a suggestions
Dillion Jones SF

24 years old , 7 foot wingspan gives him potential as a defender, can shoot, former 1st rounder in 2024. He was even drafted 1st overall by South Bay Lakers. Worth a shot

Any other suggestions?

I'm taking that AR for JJJ

“League sources said the Warriors have been prioritizing expiring contracts in return for Kuminga. … though league sources said Keon Ellis (on a cheap expiring deal) is a potential sweetener of interest to them.”

Lakers have reportedly checked in on Kuminga and are monitoring his situation

“The purple-and-gold’s known preference at this deadline is to acquire a true 3-and-D wing with size if possible to provide some point-of-attack resistance on the perimeter as well as some shooting, but it must be said the Lakers, according to sources, did call Golden State about Kuminga during the sides’ summer standoff in restricted free agency I’m told that the Lakers have likewise continued to monitor Kuminga’s situation while casting a wide net to try to find help on a very limited wing market.”
