There is a lot of news going around with the Lakers right now. One of the things I have seen so far is that it is possible for the Lakers to get either Eric Bledsoe or Dragic because the Phoenix Suns don’t have enough money to keep both of the players, but the Houston Rockets are also a possible team to get Dragic in the 2015 free agency. Some more news on the Lakers is Tracy Mcgrady and Kobe Bryant did workouts over the summer to see how Tracy would feel about a possible comeback season.

A couple of possible new players the Lakers could sign include Michael Beasley and big man Dexter Pittman although Michael Beasley has been to two workouts for the Lakers there hasn’t been any agreements on a contract yet. With the Lakers signing 5 new players all of them are great players yet everybody is doubting them saying they are only going to win 30 games and aren’t going to make the playoffs. I think they will make a good run and prove all the doubters wrong.

There is a lot of talk about Kobe and how he will be this year because of his health and his age. There are a lot of players saying that he is ready and that he will be good this year. James Harden said that he and Kobe have been talking and Harden said that Kobe is ready and that he looks like he is the 20-year-old Kobe. I think that Kobe put a lot of work into getting prepared for this season. It should be a good season for him.

Two injuries last season kept him on the bench for the whole 2013-2014 season. At first it was his Achilles, which he came back from. But then he injured his knee playing against the Memphis Grizzlies, and that took him out for the rest of the season. Kobe played 6 games the whole 2013-2014 NBA season. The Lakers didn’t want to let him play because he is going into his last season on his contract. He said that he is going to retire after his contract is up so they wanted to let him rest until 2014-2015 season because they didn’t want to risk Kobe getting injured again.

Kobe and the Lakers will be the subject in a Show time documentary. It is set to air in November. The trailer makes it look interesting, The title of the documentary is Muse. It will be covering the Lakers forgettable 2013-2014 season (they won 22 games and lost 44). In the trailer Kobe is saying, “ I’m not in this to do what’s normal. It’s a decision you’ve got to make if you want to accomplish anything that’s significant and have a serious impact. You’ve got to make those sacrifices. You have to make that choice.” "LA Lakers Blog." Http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/08/kobe-bryant-documentary-trailer. N.p., n.d. Web. 9 Sept. 2014.Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are a great team. Everybody doubts them because of the season they had the year before. I wouldn’t doubt them; they could come back and surprise everybody and win more than 30 games and make the playoffs.
