LA Lakers Updates and News #2 (Roster)

It has been confirmed that the Lakers on September 24, 2015 they signed Meta World Peace. So this will be a huge "piece to the puzzle." This is the roster of the 2015-2016 LA Lakers with the addition of M.WP. The guards right now is #15 Jabari Brown, #24 Kobe Bryant, #6 Jordan Clarkson, #5 Michael Frazier, #9 Marcelo Huertas, #23 Louis Williams, and finally #0 Nick Young. Then for their forwards its #2 Brandon Bass, #3 Anthony Brown, #10 Jonathan Holmes, #4 Ryan Kelly, #7 Larry Lance Jr., and finally #30 Julius Randle. The centers for the Lakers are going to be #28 Tarik Black, #17 Roy Hibbert, and finally #50 Robert Sacre. So this season looks like they are going to be containing more guards than forwards/centers on their roster. So next week, I will have more updates and news about the LA Lakers. Till next week, I am out peace.

Laker Updates and News 1

So in this blog I will be discussing about updates and news of the 2015-2016 LA Lakers. This year will be interesting for the Lakers. For they have some players from last season and their new rookie. He is known as D'Angelo Russell the second pick of the NBA draft. They are rumors of the Lakers picking up one their best defensive player they had in the 2009-2010 championship run. You may have know him Ron Artest but, you know him as Metta World Peace (M.W.P.). The Lakers are picking MW.P. from the New York Knicks from last season from this off season. As well as a center from the Indiana Pacers, Roy Hibbert. They are also trying to find that will be their next "Kobe" for the future of this franchise. I believe that they found their Kobe and Shaq. Last season, they drafted Julius Randle as the number six pick from the Kentucky Wildcats. Every Laker reporters said, "This kid may be the next Shaq..." They were able to as well as pick up Jordan Clarkson for a back up point guard. After the preseason both Clarkson and Randle was able to prove that they belong here in the NBA. Before their first game reporters said, "This game will be exciting one for Kobe because he has played a regular season game since mid-March. This will be a important game for the rookie point guard Clarkson and the power forward Randle for this is their first game in the NBA." It was a good game for Kobe and Clarkson. Except for Randle for early in the third quarter, he got injured where it caused him to miss the entire season. For this year it's going to be exciting for all three of them. For where Kobe is going to make history where he ties John Stockton for most seasons played for one team (20 years). For Clarkson he try's proving how much he grew as a player last season. The one that is more exciting I believe this year is Randle for he seeks out for revenge from last season. Laker fans, reporters and I felt that he actually didn't play a game that season. So he is seeking out for redemption to improve himself to play more games this season than last season. Their coach Byron Scott saying that this year with some of the new "pieces to the puzzle" being added they will get into the NBA finals. So far I am looking forward to the Lakers season. But they will, have challenging teams that also got new "pieces to the puzzle" for them. Like the San Antonio Spurs where they were able to get pick up David West a power forward that also was from the Indian Pacers. The Spurs was able to get Portland Trailblazers center Lamarcus Aldridge. One other that stands in the Lakers way is the defending champs, the golden State Warriors. from winning this years championship. So this was my first blog and thank you if you stayed until the end of this blog till next peace.
