All and all JJ Redick's first season as a head coach at any level was quite a success when you pit everything together. However, in Los Angeles, championships

LeBron James has a player option to return to the Los Angeles Lakers next season. The four-time MVP and four-time Finals MVP turns 41 in December.  James can decline his 2025-26 player option and become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Van Exel quietly finished his career with one-year stints in Golden State, Portland and San Antonio as he wrapped things up with a 14.4 points per game career scoring average, his best scoring season coming in 2001-02 when he averaged 21.4 points per game with the Denver Nuggets.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James took time to mention Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton on Tuesday. Haliburton led the Pacers past the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 114-105 victory.

The Lakers will most likely look at trade targets this offseason to improve the roster amid an early playoff exit.
