Today’s Lakers Report is a loaded one with Lakers news & rumors floating about! Bleacher Report suggested the Lakers make a John Collins trade with the Atlanta Hawks for Anthony Davis in order to stack up assets to acquire Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards. Would the Lakers consider swapping Davis for Collins and then flipping those assets to Washington? Lakers injury news is positive as Dennis Schroder and Thomas Bryant are expected to make their 2022-23 NBA season debuts against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, while LeBron James is still nursing the adductor strain he suffered last week. Chat Sports host Marshall Green breaks down the latest NBA news & rumors!

Nothing can stop the Lakers trade rumors from growing this offseason, especially around the chances of a Russell Westbrook trade. The Athletic writer Sam Amick recently pondered the idea of keeping Russ in Los Angeles amid Lakers rumors tying him to teams like the Indiana Pacers and Charlotte Hornets. While Russell Westbrook trade rumors continue to swirl, it’s unlikely a LeBron James trade will happen. Amick and Los Angeles Times writer Dan Woike both say there haven’t been any Lakers trade talks for LeBron, while Brian Windhorst said on ESPN’s First Take that LBJ wants to stay in Los Angeles. Chase Senior walks you through it all on the Lakers Report - let’s dive into the latest Lakers trade rumors! If you want the Lakers to break up their Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook - like this video right now! Today’s Lakers trade rumors and news: - Russell Westbrook trade rumors - Lakers keeping him next year? - LeBron James trade not happening, according to The Athletic and Los Angeles Times For more Lakers videos and coverage this offseason, be sure to follow us on Rumble: http://rumble.com/LakersTV Sam Amick of The Athletic on the possibility a Russell Westbrook trade doesn’t happen: - When the decision was made to fire Vogel, sources say his handling of Westbrook and the inability to find a way to make him a more productive part of the program were among the factors that played a big part. There was a strong sense that it was on Vogel to make the Westbrook experiment work, and the fact that it didn’t led to questions about whether Westbrook had been put in a position to succeed. That sure smells like the hope of a Russ revival to me. And how’s this for a tidbit to tie this thread up: Phil Jackson is known to have been a fan of Westbrook’s throughout his career. Sources say Phil Jackson has no interest in taking on this coaching job (or any other) himself — let’s just stop that rumor right here — but his view of Westbrook is relevant. As we’ve established, Jackson’s voice matters again. Pick one to trade: Type ‘LBJ’ for LeBron James, ‘AD’ for Anthony Davis or ‘RW’ for Russell Westbrook Lakers trade rumors now shift to what happens if the LeBron James extension is denied - here’s what Sam Amick had to report on the situation: - If LeBron James ultimately decides against signing an extension with the Lakers in August, sources say Buss wouldn’t see his desire to play out the final season of his contract as a reason to consider trading him. Without an extension, James’ current deal will expire after next season (in which he’s owed $47.1 million). It’s a natural question to ask in these sorts of situations, as the notion of James leaving the Lakers empty-handed by signing elsewhere in the summer of 2023 would be less than ideal. Still, all signs point to the year-by-year approach being considered acceptable by the Lakers — so long as the relationship with James is still in a good place. What would your one-word reaction be if the Lakers traded LeBron? LeBron James highlights will still make any basketball fan go nuts, and his numbers back it up - The King can still hoop at a high level: - 30.3 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 6.2 APG, 1.3 SPG - 21.8 FGA, 52.4 FG%, 35.9 3P%, 75.6 FT% Grade LeBron’s play this season!

LeBron James, Anthony Davis AND Russell Westbrook are in the thick of the latest Lakers trade rumors now that they’re out of the NBA Playoffs. LeBron James injury news doesn’t matter anymore, but what about ESPN’s Brian Windhorst saying to keep an eye out for a potential pairing with LeBron and Luka Doncic? Russell Westbrook-Charlotte Hornets trade buzz is starting to pop up after the latest Marc Stein report, but Lakers rumors have also surfaced that they might waive or buy him out. An Anthony Davis trade could take place as well, but he thinks he’s staying in Los Angeles. Finally, some Lakers news today, as Trevor Ariza was waived to open up a roster spot, which Shams Charania just reported was for Wenyen Gabriel and his fresh contract.

Lakers trade rumors have mostly surrounded Russell Westbrook’s future after a rough season in Los Angeles. The latest Russell Westbrook trade rumors have tied him to the Charlotte Hornets, and Gordon Hayward was mentioned as a potential salary-matcher. However, Marc Stein now reports that injury history will play a role in the Russ trade package - could Terry Rozier be involved if the Hornets pull the trigger? Lakers head coach rumors today focus on Scott Brooks and Mike Brown, as the Los Angeles Times suggests they’ll both be Lakers head coach candidates if available. PLUS, Lamar Odom wants Phil Jackson as the next Lakers head coach? Chase Senior has all the latest Lakers trade rumors and news on this edition of the Lakers Report!

Help us become Chat Sports’ biggest NBA channel on the app by clicking here: http://rumble.com/LakersTV PREDICT IT! What team will Russ play with to start next season? Russell Westbrook trade rumors will likely continue until he’s dealt, and Marc Stein has broken down the latest Lakers trade rumors since the offseason began - here’s his latest report after he previously suggested Gordon Hayward could be used as a salary matcher in a Hornets trade: “Yet it has since been conveyed to me that the Lakers have more boundaries than advertised when it comes to weighing Westbrook trades. One league source said that injury histories would be a prime consideration in any deal, given how injuries have so routinely intruded upon the last two seasons for both 37-year-old LeBron James and 29-year-old Anthony Davis. Translation: The Lakers are unlikely to consent to a Charlotte trade headlined by Gordon Hayward — not after Hayward’s first two seasons in Charlotte have likewise been injury-filled. The Lakers surely understand that they need to factor in durability if they are taking on long-term money, which suggests that Terry Rozier would have to be the Southern California-bound headliner if the Hornets and Lakers eventually progress to serious trade talks.” Lakers head coach rumors continue to swirl, but Lamar Odom has a familiar face he would want as the next guy in charge: “Phil Jackson, I know can coach LeBron with the triangle offense. I think that would keep him around a little longer. Preserve him a little longer. I would love for Phil Jackson to be the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers … If he was to come back and coach the Lakers, I think the Lakers would be the pick, the fan favorite.” Any interest in a Phil Jackson reunion? Type ‘Y’ for Yes, Type ‘N’ for No The Los Angeles Times’ recent report on potential Lakers head coach candidates included these names, some of which haven’t been mentioned in the latest Lakers rumors: - Nick Nurse (Head Coach, Raptors) - Doc Rivers (Head Coach, 76ers) - Quin Snyder (Head Coach, Jazz) - Terry Stotts (Former Head Coach, Trail Blazers) - Scott Brooks (Asst. Coach, Trail Blazers) - Mike Brown (Former Head Coach, Lakers) - Alex Jensen (Asst. Coach, Jazz) - Juwan Howard (Head Coach, Michigan) Scott Brooks is an intriguing name for the Lakers head coach job, and his resume could put him in contention for the opening: - Assistant in Portland this season - Thunder (2008-15): 338-207 (.620) - NBA Finals appearance in 2011-12 - Wizards (2016-21): 183-207 (.469) - Nearly 20 years as an NBA coach

The Lakers have added to their backcourt depth today with the signing of Dennis Schroder. After the Patrick Beverley trade, the Lakers now have Russell Westbrook, Schroder and Beverley, who will all share the court together for Darvin Ham’s lakers. Schroder played last season with the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets, and he now returns to the Lakers on a veteran minimum contract less than two weeks before training camp begins. When breaking news happens, We have you covered! Hit that subscribe button to make sure you don’t miss any Lakers news: https://www.youtube.com/lakerstv?sub_confirmation=1 Schroder played with the Lakers during the 2020-21 NBA Season, where he excelled and was comfortable. Rob Pelinka and the Lakers offered Schroder a 4-year $84 million deal to return to Los Angeles, but Schroder declined and opted to sign a one-year deal with the Boston Celtics worth $5.9 million last season. Schroder returns to the Lakers to help them make LeBron James and Anthony Davis push for the 2023 NBA Playoffs, which the Lakers missed last season. Schroder has been starring for Germany in EuroBasket 2022, leading Germany to the semifinals of the tournament.

The Frank Vogel hot seat rumors never stopped this season, and according to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, the Lakers are still expected to part ways with their head coach. Lakers rumors swarmed around Vogel’s future as Los Angeles fell out of the NBA Playoffs race, and now they face elimination tonight against the Phoenix Suns. Are Quin Snyder and Doc Rivers the leading Frank Vogel replacements in the front office? Other names mentioned included Mike Brown, Kurt Rambis and Steve Clifford. Los Angeles Lakers rumors and news coming to you on today’s Lakers Report video with Chase Senior! One-word reaction to this news? Looking for more Lakers coverage like this? We're the channel for you! Follow us on Rumble today: Frank Vogel rumors came from Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer: “Now, as the finish line for this tumultuous 2021-22 campaign mercifully arrives, the Lakers are still expected to part ways with embattled play-caller Frank Vogel, sources told B/R, and the anticipated vacancy on Los Angeles’ bench has produced no shortage of potential candidates linked to fill the position.” This Lakers news will surely come out soon, especially given how Vogel’s tenure in Los Angeles has fallen apart since that magical 2020 NBA Championship: - 2019-20: 52-19 (Won NBA Title) - 2020-21: 42-30 (Lost in 1st Rd.) - 2021-22: 31-47 (11th in West) Does Frank Vogel deserve to be fired? Type ‘Y’ for Yes, Type ‘N’ for No Lakers rumors around the potential head coaching vacancy have linked Quin Snyder as the most mentioned Frank Vogel replacement, but he’s shut down those rumors before: “To be honest, having to address this type of question in any form, in my view, is disrespectful to the teams that are mentioned themselves. I think specifically, these types of discussions are also disrespectful to coaches. And I love the guys that I coach. I love these players. And frankly, my focus is on our guys and our team. And as I said, addressing hypotheticals in these types of questions in any form I feel like is disrespectful. And that’s how I would characterize that.” Doc Rivers rumors are also linking him to the Lakers head coach opening if Vogel is fired - here’s what Fischer had to say: “Doc Rivers, the Philadelphia 76ers’ head coach, is another active bench leader being mentioned by league personnel as a potential Lakers candidate. Rivers’ tenure in Philadelphia has also come into question of late, spurred by team president Daryl Morey’s deadline acquisition of James Harden and the mounting speculation that followed about a potential reunification with Harden’s former Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni.” Who do you want as the Lakers’ next head coach?

Type ‘BS’ or ‘RW’ #2: D’Angelo Russell trade rumors Marc Stein’s report sparked these Lakers trade rumors - here’s what he had to say: - D'Angelo Russell wound up on the bench at crunch time in the Timberwolves' season-ending Game 6 defeat at home to Memphis and averaged just 12.0 points per game on 33.3% shooting in his second career playoff series. Numerous rival teams expect the Wolves to try to trade Russell this offseason irrespective of Russell’s close relationship with Minnesota star Karl-Anthony Towns. Level of interest in a reunion with D’Angelo Russell? Scale of 1-10 #3: Lakers free agency - sign Victor Oladipo? Kenneth Teape of NBA Analysis Network pitched the idea: - Landing a multi-year deal, especially with how the last few seasons have gone for him, is likely his goal. But, if he wants to maximize earnings, he could sign a one-year prove-it deal and re-enter free agency in the summer of 2023 when there will be more cap space to spend. A one-year prove-it deal is something that could work for the Lakers and Oladipo. They would be able to provide him with rotation minutes right from the start, as he could be the starting shooting guard depending on how things shake out for the purple and gold this offseason.
