Redick led the Lakers to a 50-32 record during his first season as a head coach, though they fell to Minnesota in the first round of the playoffs. However, after initially signing a four-year deal last June, the Lakers want to ensure he’s around longer than that, though the exact terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. Redick will look to cater this offense to the strengths of Luka Doncic, who they traded for in February, while still getting the most out of LeBron James and Austin Reaves.

The Lakers moved up 10 spots from pick No. 55 to pick No. 45 in a trade with the Bulls Thursday afternoon. While Kalkbrenner would still have to fall to pick No. 45 unless the Lakers trade up again, a center makes sense as a potential target for the Lakers. The team traded away Anthony Davis in the Luke Doncic trade and then had a trade in place for Mark Williams before he failed his physical. The Lakers could certainly use more of a presence on the interior and Kalkbrenner would fit there.

The Lakers notably didn’t have a selection in the first round of the NBA Draft. Now while it’s unclear exactly who the team is targeting in the second round, the Lakers must have someone in mind to move up 10 spots. It’s also possible the Lakers could make another trade to move up if they’re targeting a player projected to go early in the second round.

A few months after the majority ownership of the Celtics was sold at a valuation of $6 billion, the Lakers were sold to Walter, who is also the primary owner and chairman of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The reported valuation of $10 billion is the highest for a professional sports franchise in world history. Once the NBA approves Wednesday’s reported sale, the Lakers will be owned by someone other than the Buss family for the first time since 1979. The late Dr. Jerry Buss purchased the Lakers, the Los Angeles Kings, the Inglewood Forum and a 13,000 square foot ranch from Jack Kent Cooke for a total of $67.5 million. That’s equivalent to nearly $296 million in 2025.
