Lakers.com: Good news on the Andrew Bynum front: The young center began running on a treadmill Tuesday, and there have been no negative repercussions thus far. The news is at least a tad surprising, since in Portland on Monday Phil Jackson had informed reporters that there would be little to talk about until April. Last week, we learned that Bynum [...]

Lamar Odom joined the Lakers in the 2004, and sitting here in 2009 he is still the most perplexing individual on this roster.

Lakers backup point guard Jordan Farmar had successful surgery today to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and is expected to miss the next eight weeks.

David Stern: “Your 2008 NBA Champions, the Boston Celtics” Arguably the seven most painful words some of us Lakers fans have ever heard. Those words and the series of events that happened last June have had a long time to marinate. We shall never forget what happened, and make no mistake the players feel the same way. From Sasha Vujacic [...]

Marc Stein of ESPN recently ranked the Top 20 expiring contracts and rated the probability of the player being traded. Looks like Lamar will stay put according to his sources.

It took the final game of the Olympics to truly test this “Redeem Team”, it took the gold medal game to see if this team is truly the best in the world.

I thought this would put smiles on some of our faces, after witnessing a humiliating defeat in the finals. At least the city of Los Angeles, backs our Lakers no matter what.

Who are you, and what did you do with Kobe? We all know Kobe as being the man with ice water in his veins, the player that wants to rip your heart out, and wants the ball down 1 with seconds to play. Kobe wasn’t nervous when he was just 18 years old shooting potential game winners for the Lakers [...]

When Bynum went down we told ourselves, as long as he’s back for playoffs we will be fine. Which was understandable and perfectly logical at the time, we needed Bynum to compete with the elite teams. But we didn’t know how good we would become without him in the lineup. Fact is, this team is currently healthy and ready to [...]

Kobe Bryant has finally done everything to earn the honor of becoming the leagues undisputed Most Valuable Player. The checklist is finally complete. Kobe makes the players around him better, and is the best player on arguably the best team. Best player offensively and defensively, performs on a true contender, the best closer in the league; he’s on a team [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers will win the NBA championship. I just wanted to put it in wording, make it official and let everybody know that this is not a possibility, nor is it a estimated guess, but it’s fact. When it’s all said and done and the dust settles David Stern will walk to the middle of the floor and [...]

The Lakers have lost 3 out of their last 4, and are 2-3 without Andrew Bynum in the lineup. The Lakers not only need this game to get back on track, but I doubt anybody forgot what happened last time these two teams met. Sure they need this game to get back on track, stay towards the top of the [...]
