Shake Milton: “Yeah, man—he’s amazing, honestly. Just seeing him day-to-day is the really cool part, because you get to see how he operates outside of the games. I remember being in practice with him and seeing how hard he goes, and I’m thinking, ‘That’s what makes you different.’ Even little things—like coming to the gym before the game—he’s there two or three hours before we’re even there for shootaround. You can see how all that little stuff adds up.”

Shake Milton: Bronny’s a dope kid. He’s really cool, and he can hoop; he’s really got game. So it was cool to see. He was just living his life, too. I spent a lot of time with him—like when we were playing those extra, low-minute pickup games and stuff. Being able to see him hoop, and seeing that he puts in the work as well, it was just like two players doing their thing separately. It was really cool.” “You didn’t really feel the father-son aspect. And that’s the thing, too—it’s so individualized. You don’t really see them together until it’s team practice or the game. Other than that, Bronny might be in and LeBron might not be in, you know?”

Bryce James, the younger son of LeBron James, will redshirt this season for No. 1 Arizona, head coach Tommy Lloyd announced Tuesday. “Bryce has made huge progress.

NBA Insider Jake Fischer said during a livestream Monday “the Lakers are ready to move on from LeBron James and I think LeBron James is ready to move on from the Lakers as well.” Fischer reported he believes the divorce will happen in June. “That’s kind of the foregone sentiment in Los Angeles right now about what’s to come this summer,” Fischer said.

The Lakers Review: Jake Fischer during his live stream for Bleacher Report today stated the Lakers’ inability to trade for Keon Ellis - whom the team wanted - is an “indicator” to him that they’re not going to be “super aggressive” trying to find perimeter help. He reiterated their desire to maintain cap space for the summer and named Peyton Watson, Bennedict Mathurin, and Tari Eason as potential players they could target amongst other wings that may become available. Jake also mentioned “definitively, the Lakers are ready to move on from LeBron James and I think LeBron James is ready to move on from the Lakers as well. That’s kind of the foregone sentiment in Los Angeles right now about what’s to come this summer.”

During that 2018-19 Lakers season, things were looking bright until LeBron James went down with a groin injury. Do you think that squad was talented enough to make the Finals if everyone had stayed healthy? Brandon Ingram: [Laughs]. I don’t know if we would’ve made the Finals, but I will say we were a very talented team. We had our young core in their second and third years—Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma, Ivica Zubac. We had LeBron, Rondo, and Michael Beasley. It was a smart group. We would have had a chance, but we were also pretty inexperienced. I’m not sure about the Finals, but we were definitely talented enough to make a real run in the playoffs.

Daniel Starkand: Here's what LeBron said about where the Lakers stand: "I like this group. But we gotta continue to get better. And that's good. We should want to get better, it's only Feb. 1. But we're gonna continue to get better and better, what is it, 48 games now? It's a tough Western Conference, it's a tough league and like I said, it's been tough all season dealing with injuries and guys in and guys out. Unfortunately, our All-Star two-guard has been out for a minute, that's a big piece for our team. So it's just kind of hard to see what we really truly can be."
