The Los Angeles Lakers concluded the 2024-25 NBA season with a 50-32 record, finishing as the third seed in the Western Conference. However, their postseason run was short-lived, as they were eliminated in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games.

Needing to upgrade their frontcourt this offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers will likely call the Atlanta Hawks again about a previously reported trade target.

Last season Arizona State was one of four teams getting a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. It won't be that easy come next season.
