As a league giant, the Lakers are quite lively every offseason, and even some things will overshadow the Finals. For the Lakers, there are many things to do this offseason, whether at the player level or other levels, some changes are needed. So what are the latest updates worth paying attention to in the Lakers recently? The latest news of the Lakers is that one person will continue to stay, and the transaction is also under negotiation, and the Magician confirms the matter.

If you want to say the most important thing, it is that the Lakers are selling their team. I have to say that the Lakers are really valuable, and in terms of this price, they are definitely a historical existence. Even if other teams sell teams later, this is probably not the case. I can only say that Los Angeles is really complementary to the Lakers. More importantly, the Lakers have not stopped superstars for so many years, which is why they can set a record for selling teams.

But what we need to know is that even if we change our new boss, Jenny Buss will continue to stay. In other words, Jenny is still the manager in this transition process. But what we need to understand is that the Lakers will not be as stretched as before. I don’t know how much decision-making power is in Bass’ role now, which is also a relatively critical existence, because it will affect the team’s signings and other decisions.

In terms of player trading, judging from the information disclosed by Jazz reporter Andy Larsen, the Lakers have negotiated with the Jazz about Collins' deal. As for the player Collins, it is still more suitable for the Lakers, after all, the Lakers need an inside player. In this season of the 24-25 season, Collins averaged 19 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Let’s see if the Lakers and Jazz can reach an agreement, and everyone can continue to wait.

After the team changed its boss, the Magician, as a Lakers celebrity, also confirmed one thing about the new boss, that is, the new boss takes victory as the driving force, pursues excellence, adheres to the right way to do things, and is willing to invest resources to strive for victory. As for this matter, it is enough to show that the new Lakers boss will not be stingy. You can take a look at the past few years. Since winning the championship, the Lakers have been stitching and patching. To put it bluntly, they don’t want to invest too much.

But then again, the current salary structure will not allow the Lakers to make big moves. Unless James cuts his salary significantly, there is no room for him. In fact, the crux of the Lakers today is whether James can cut his salary. If James can drop to 30 million, then the Lakers' operational space will be large enough. As for this matter, let’s wait and see. Everything is possible during the offseason, and there is no doubt about it.
