An NBA writer believes that two notable Los Angeles Lakers contributors could leave the franchise next summer.

During the Lakers' 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years.

LeBron James will remember his 41st birthday for all the wrong reasons after the Lakers turn over the ball 21 times in a dismal, 128-106 loss to the Pistons.

Hoops legend LeBron James, 41, is living out a rare NBA dream these past two seasons — suiting up and playing professional basketball alongside his son. Bronny James, LeBron’s 21-year-old son, is in his second year playing with his father on the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers got blown out again Tuesday, letting a close game devolve into a 128-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons, the Lakers' sixth 20-point loss this season.

Detroit took some time to decompress and then got an unexpected boost from a previously little-used role player, showing off its depth.

Before ringing in the new year, Luka Dončić took time to remember what was a monumental 2025 for the five-time All-Star.
