It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the the New York Knicks on Sunday afternoon, 92-80. Carlos Boozer posted a double-double in the blowout loss:
“The Los Angeles Lakers looked to start a four-game road trip with a win against the struggling New York Knicks, after a 2OT thriller win against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night.
Nick Young and Tarik Black were both available to play on Sunday afternoon, after missing the last two games and three games, respectively.
The Lakers struggled early, only making two field goals in the first six minutes of the game. Lacking offensive production, the Lakers found themselves down by 14 after a 10-0 run by the Knicks. The first quarter ended with the Lakers trailing, 32-19. In the second quarter, the Lakers pulled to within five halfway through the quarter, but continued to struggle offensively to take the lead. The Lakers committed eight turnovers in the first half, resulting in a 47-39 deficit into the locker room. The Lakers shot an abysmal 27% in the first half. Carlos Boozer led the Lakers with nine points and five rebounds.”

Bleacher Report gives a list of 5 potential stars the Lakers should go after:
“Summer can’t come soon enough for the Los Angeles Lakersfaithful. Big changes are in store for a franchise that’s produced just 13 wins in its first 47 games.
Whether the Lakers are able to sign a big-time free agent in the offseason is up for debate. And whether they make a big splash on an older, established veteran or pay top dollar for a younger star looking for a change of scenery is also open for discussion.
There are so many variables yet to be decided, and all of them would alter how the Lakers view the free-agent landscape. Assuming thatKobe Bryant is rehabilitating nicely from torn rotator cuff surgery in January and on track to return for a farewell campaign, the Lakers will likely have at least $20 million to play with on the free-agency market.”
