We still have the Super Bowl, the NFL Scouting Combine, and free agency on deck, but the draft is fast approaching in the league. Come this time next week, all 32 teams will redirect their focus on making their teams better next season via offseason acquisitions. And if the Pittsburgh Steelers follow the pair of mocks that A to Z Sports just released, they’re going to be just fine: The Steelers finally hit on a rookie CB with Joey Porter Jr. looking like the real deal last season. And I have them trying to double up by adding Alabama’s Terrion…

The Los Angeles Lakers have won three straight and hey, who knows, maybe they can still go places as currently constructed. That may be their reality. Trying to win with the hand they have right now. While general manager Rob Pelinka is trying to make deals, the possibility exists that he may not pull one off before Thursday’s trade deadline. The Lakers (27-25) don’t play again until Thursday night. Either way, LeBron James is saying all the right things. When asked about moves the Lakers might need to make, he was diplomatic. “It’s not a question for me,” James told…

Throughout the years, the Los Angeles Lakers have always catered to a huge market. Besides, the franchise is also the most decorated in the NBA with 17 total NBA championship banners and an NBA In-Season Tournament title. But while the spotlight is often focused on the stars, plenty of eyes are on the Lakers to the point that even the role players garner some attention. Let’s rank the 10 Laker role players who received the greatest PR pushes. 10. Robert Sacre Robert Sacre didn’t really make a significant impact that sent shockwaves into the NBA, especially with his averages of…

A splash would be OK, but it may not go that way. Instead, the Los Angeles Lakers may end up making a smaller move at the trade deadline — or perhaps no move at all. That’s the latest from Jovan Buha of The Athletic. The Lakers (27-25) have won three straight and even LeBron James suggested he will ride or die with the current group. Of course, what he says publically and what he indicates behind the scenes may be two different things entirely. “Though James has made it clear where he stands and that he’d like for the organization…

The Los Angeles Lakers have been plagued by injuries this 2023-2024 season. Luckily, it hasn’t been with their top two players, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but rather it’s been with their depth pieces. One of the main players who has missed an extended amount of time has been their top free-agent acquisition, guard Gabe Vincent. Vincent has only played five games this season; however, a return for the 27-year-old could be upon us, according to Yahoo NBA senior writer Jake Fischer. Lakers guard Gabe Vincent, who’s become included in Los Angeles’ outgoing trade conversations, sources said, appears on track…

According to NBA insider Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Los Angeles Lakers may stand pat or make a marginal move at the trade deadline. The Lakers, after beating the Charlotte Hornets last night, improved to 27-25 on the season. They are in ninth place in the Western Conference standings. “Though (LeBron) James has made it clear that he’d like for the organization to approach this deadline with the all-in approach he prefers, the likelihood that the Lakers stand pat or make a marginal move has somewhat increased in recent days, according to team and league sources,” Buha wrote. “Their…

By Thursday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers will know exactly what team they’ll have for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. The NBA trade deadline is two days away, normally meaning some nervous moments for players whose names have consistently been on the trade block, like Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell. Russell has been named in just about every rumor involving the Lakers. The Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors have all been tied to him as destinations that either have interest in him as a player or as salary ballast for a player the Lakers want to acquire. At…

Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have apparently held internal discussions as a Mauricio Pochettino update surfaces involving the Stamford Bridge hierarchy. The Blues’ 4-2 defeat to Wolves at home last weekend left a bitter taste in the mouths of supporters, with Pochettino’s side being subject to boos at both half-time and full-time whistles. The loss is Chelsea’s second bad defeat on the trot and now relegates them to the bottom half of the Premier League table. Every single side above them have conceded fewer goals than Pochettino’s side, and their lack of a potent goalscorer is evident by…

Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa has been ruled out for up to four weeks ahead of his side’s FA Cup tie with Chelsea. Unai Emery has selected the 26-year-old in all-but one of Villa’s games this season before he was forced off with a knee problem in the recent 5-0 win at Sheffield United. There were reports Konsa would be out for a significant period of time but Emery stated before the fourth-round replay against Chelsea that he should return towards the end of this month. “He is injured,” confirmed Emery on Tuesday. “He has a knee sprain and he…

Unlike LeBron James’ second stint with the Cavaliers when his annual opt-out option became a regular topic of conversation each season, his run with the Lakers has exuded more stability. But as was the case before last year’s trade deadline, the all-time great is applying pressure on Lakers brass to improve the team’s current roster ahead of Feb. 8. And the fact that this summer provides James with his first chance to become a free agent since 2019 gives his position more power. After telling reporters that he had yet to decide on his player option for next season, James…
