As the Los Angeles Lakers attempt to remain in championship contention in the final seasons of LeBron James’ historic career, making solid moves on the margins

Earlier this season, the Los Angeles Lakers made a notable trade, sending D’Angelo Russell back to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith. Nearly a month later, the Lakers could be in pursuit of another trade,

Charlotte, which has now won five of its past eight games, dominated against Zion Williamson and the Pelicans.

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis sent a clear message about his and LeBron James’ drive to win another NBA championship.

The Lakers can still trade for a big man ahead of the deadline but are going to add some size in the meantime. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Los Angeles is planning to sign former New Orleans Pelicans center Trey Jemison. He was just recently waived by the team after playing in 16 games this season.

Jemison went undrafted in 2023 after playing five years in college for the Clemson Tigers and his hometown team, the University of Alabama-Birmingham Blazers, where he earned All-Conference USA third-team and All-Defensive team honors during his final year.

Anthony Davis is one of the NBA’s premier talents, and his continued dominance with the Los Angeles Lakers has only solidified that reputation. Now, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is offering a candid opinion about AD.

Bryant stepped off the court in a Lakers jersey for the final time the following year. He scored 60 points in his finale and finished his career with 33,643 points. He ranks fourth all-time in scoring, behind LeBron James (41,396), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) and Karl Malone (36,928).

A pair of Western Conference foes on opposite ends of the standings face off on Friday, Jan. 24 when the Memphis Grizzlies host the New Orleans Pelicans at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn.

Coming off a tough loss to the Clippers, the Lakers have little trouble defeating the NBA's worst team, the Washington Wizards.
