The Lakers are monitoring the Moussa Diabate situation in Charlotte per @jovanbuha
“I am sure he is someone on the Lakers’ radar; I don’t think you are getting him for a second [round pick]”
Diabate averaged 7.9 PPG, 8.7 RPG and shot 63.1% in 26 MPG last season, starting 47 games. He played a key role in Charlotte’s 40-24 finish after a 4-14 start.

The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record breaking price $12.5 billion, multiple sources told ESPN.
Kushner and Iger were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year.

The Lakers are set to have around $22M in exceptions to spend next summer, enough to add a starter without touching Luka or Reaves' money.
That is thanks to the NBA's new 2027-28 projection of a $176M cap and $213M tax line, a bigger jump than expected, per @TheAthletic

Former Laker Montrezl Harrell on the new-look Lakers (via Scoop B Robinson):
“The Lakers are a completely different team than they were last year or two to three years ago when AD was on the team. They are trying to turn themselves into more of a long-range shooting team as opposed to the older Lakers teams that had a dominant inside presence. The moves they’ve made are more about spacing the floor and shooting the ball from the bigger positions.”
