title : NBA Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers Lose Hope on Kobe Bryant, Russell D'Angelo; Roy Hibbert, Larry Nance Jr Take Over
summary : The Los Angeles Lakers have made significant additions to its roster during the NBA offseason. While the newly added talents are undoubtedly highly skilled, such moves require patience from the fans and followers.

summary : The Los Angeles Lakers had been earlier pegged as one of the most notable NBA teams this regular season.

title : Oklahoma City Thunder Kevin Durant Eye LaMarcus Aldridge, Kobe Bryant Defeat; Russell Westbrook, Dion Waiters Excited For NBA Season
summary : The Oklahoma City Thunder are entering the upcoming NBA season with incredibly strong confidence that the Kevin Durant squad could finally clinch the Western Conference title this. More than dominating the West, it looks like the strength and aggressiveness exhibited by Oklahoma City Thunder stars Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Dion Waiters are extremely promising signs in terms of unseating the Golden State Warriors and becoming the new NBA Finals champions. Although the competition in the West could turn out to be quite challenging this year, especially with the entry of LaMarcus Aldridge in the San Antonio Spurs roster and the promising performance of Rajon Rondo in the practices of the Sacramento Kings, fans and followers of the Oklahoma City Thunder squad remain confident that the return of the great Kevin Durant could spell the difference to the game plays executed by head coach Billy Donovan. Should the Oklahoma City Thunder actually emerge victorious in the Western Conference, presumably beating the likes of Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs, Rudy Gay of the Sacramento Kings, James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, then Kevin Durant and his squad have yet to confront basketball stars such as LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls to actually take home the NBA championship trophy. Could the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball stars do it?

title : NBA News & Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers Fail Steve Nash Deal; NBA All-Star Chooses Stephen Curry Over Kobe Bryant Squad
summary : With the rumored imminent retirement of Kobe Bryant, it looks like the Los Angeles Lakers are searching for ways to build an NBA team capable of withstanding the perceived loss. However, it seems that the squad keeps missing out on these opportunities. Adding to the string of would-be boosters of the Los Angeles Lakers is Steve Nash, who signed a deal with the Golden State Warriors following the announcement of his retirement. Plagued with injuries in the previous NBA season, Steve Nash had been forced to hang his jersey and content himself as one of the main men in the background. Such was the role taken on by the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player in the Los Angeles Lakers in the past season. Due to his injuries, Steve Nash knew that he could no longer contribute to the NBA team by playing in the hardwood. To offset this situation, the NBA veteran opted to serve as the mentor of the young Los Angeles Lakers point guard, Jordan Clarkson.

Hence, the addition of Russell D'Angelo, Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson is a clear sign of that move that will see Kobe Bryant leave the Los Angeles Lakers for good.
