The Los Angeles Lakers saw their season end Wednesday night after a 103-96 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs. Los Angeles entere

While a first-round exit for a team with two of the league's biggest stars is viewed as a letdown, a report by The Athletic's Jovan Buha and Sam Amick revealed that first-year head coach JJ Redick is still safe.

The Lakers coach wants to see his team get bigger and fitter in the offseason, but everything will start with LeBron James.

According to Jovan Buha and Sam Amick of The Athletic, James is not expected to take a pay cut to accommodate the Lakers like he did last offseason when he took about $2.7 million less in order to help the Lakers stay under the second salary apron.

The Los Angeles Lakers' season ended Wednesday night as the Minnesota Timberwolves finished their first-round series with a Game 5 win in L.A. It was a disappointing end for a team that finished 50-32 with the No.

In his 21-year career, LeBron has never missed a playoff game, but the streak would have surely been snapped with a Lakers win in Game 5. According to reports, James suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in Tuesday's game that would have cost him the series.
