The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed upon a jersey sponsorship deal with Wish for $12 million to $14 million per season, an e-commerce company based in San Francisco.

The Golden State Warriors' deal with Rakuten is worth $20 million annually, but also includes naming rights to the team's practice facility.

The Wish logo will also be on the team’s G-League South Bay Lakers franchise.

“We talked to a bunch of companies,” Lakers' President of Basketball Operations Tim Harris said. “We were hoping for a company that is more mobile facing, because it helps us to continue to connect with younger fans.” 

Magic Johnson has been subpoenaed to testify as a witness in a civil lawsuit against Draymond Green.

Green is being sued by former Michigan State football player Jermaine Edmondson alleging a 2016 assault.

Edmondson's attorneys want to question Johnson about a tweet he posted following the incident.

Johnson wrote that he had a conversation with Green, and “he was very apologetic to the Warriors organization, fans and everyone involved.”

Green was arrested but avoided jail time and paid a fine as part of a plea deal.

Dwight Howard's future with the Orlando Magic and long dragged out exit dominated the NBA landscape in 2012 and he feels like the period has continued to plague his career five years later.  Lee Jenkins writes that "Howard can't stop reliving" some of the details of his Dwightmare period.

“In a lot of ways, I feel like I never recovered,” said Howard.

Howard played through a torn labrum with the Los Angeles Lakers in an effort to regain his reputation around the NBA.

“I lost confidence in who I am as a player,” he recalls. “I’d hear people say, ‘You should play more like Shaq,’ so I tried to bully guys. But that didn’t work because I’m not as big as Shaq. Then I’d hear people say, ‘You smile too much, you should be more like Kobe,’ so I tried to put on a mean face and play mad. But I wound up getting all these stupid techs and flagrant fouls.” 

Andrew Bogut has agreed upon a one-year, $2.3 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bogut chose the Lakers for the chance to reunite with Luke Walton and play a key role as a veteran big.

Bogut has recovered from the fractured leg he suffered while with the Cleveland Cavaliers late last season.

Bogut spent part of last season with the Dallas Mavericks after the Golden State Warriors traded him in a cap clearing move.

The Los Angeles Lakers have promoted Jordan Wilkes to Director of Player Development and Josh Wright to Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach, and have hired Kristen Andrews as Manager of Nutrition and Wellness, and Adi Vase as Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach.

With the team since the 2013-14 season, Wilkes is responsible for assisting General Manager Rob Pelinka in the day-to-day operations of the team, focusing on the personal growth of the players on the roster, while providing resources and assisting in the development of life skills off the court and outside of basketball. The L.A. native and University of California, Berkeley graduate spent the last three seasons as a basketball operations assistant with the Lakers, managing player databases, scouting local college and NBA games, scheduling draft workouts and offseason activities, as well as directing Camp Lakers in the summers of 2015 and 2016. 

Andrews joins the Lakers staff after spending the 2016-17 MLS season as the Sports Performance Dietitian for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Responsible for the team’s nutrition and wellness program, Andrews creates and implements nutrition support strategies to maximize player fitness, performance and recovery. A graduate of the University of Arkansas with a Master’s of Science from Cal State-Long Beach, Andrews also arranges all team meals throughout the season, both at home and on the road.

Vase and Wright round out Gunnar Peterson’s strength and conditioning staff. Most recently an Athletic Development Quality Assurance Assistant with the San Antonio Spurs, Vase also has prior experience with the Universities of Kentucky and Oregon. Wright has been promoted to his new position after joining the staff last year as a coaching assistant and was responsible for coaching-staff wellness throughout the year.

LeBron James will be a free agent in 2018 and speculation has been increasing that he will leave the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

"I’m publicly terminating the pandemic of speculation surrounding LeBron James’ playing plans past this season," wrote Vecsey. "For months, many in the media declared or composed presumption the Lakers would be the beneficiaries of his talents when he became a free agent July 1, 2018. I’m eradicating all conjecture and uncertainty! I’m comfortable now in stating unequivocally, LeBron will leave the Cavaliers a second time and join the Lakers, and return the team to LA Lore status."

The Lakers are preserving their cap space and looking to create more for 2018 in order to sign two max contract players.

James left the Cavaliers initially in 2010 and then returned in 2014.

James is spending more time in Los Angeles lately and was seen with his wife this past week looking at high schools for their two sons.

Magic Johnson received several job offers to work for a team before taking the Los Angeles Lakers' job in 2017.

“I turned down three jobs. My good friends Peter [Guber] and Joe [Lacob], they bought the Golden State Warriors. They came to me, ‘I want you to be an owner, a partner with us.’ I said ‘No, I’m a Laker.’ My friend bought the Detroit Pistons, Tom Gores, and a Michigan State Guy. ‘Come on home It’d be a great story.’ ‘I can’t, I’m a Laker.’ I could’ve owned other teams,” Johnson said.

Johnson is also believed to have turned down multiple opportunities to run the New York Knicks.

The Los Angeles Lakers will retire the jersey of Kobe Bryant on December 18th.

The Lakers will retire Bryan't No. 8 and No. 24. Bryant switched from No. 8 to No. 24 before the 06-07 season.

Bryant won three titles with No. 8 before winning an additional two with No. 24.

Magic Johnson has asked Jeanie Buss for the Los Angeles Lakers to take their tampering fine out of his salary.

“We can’t say a lot but we will correct the situation,” Johnson said Monday. “It’s under my watch. I apologize to Jeanie, and that was the main thing. I told her she could take it out of my salary because I don’t want the Lakers to be paying that fine. … I don’t want her spending $500,000, because she didn’t do anything. That’s on me.”

Johnson joked on Jimmy Kimmel's late night about Paul George, which led to a warning from the NBA. Rob Pelinka subsequently gave an illegal expression of interest to George's agent.

“This is just on a late-night show being funny,” Johnson said after touring a donation facility he helped organize with West Angeles Church to benefit victims of Tropical Storm Harvey. “But now I know I can’t do that. We’re OK. I haven’t thought twice about it. We made a mistake. … It’s under my watch. I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen anymore.”
