The Lakers' final decision on whether they will make any more trades

The 2025/26 season of the NBA is approaching, and for Los Angeles Lakers, the homework is already done. The Angelino team believes they have their roster set to compete for the ring as soon as the Regular Season arrives, next October. At least, that's what the Athlon Sports journalist, Sean Deveney, has stated.

The Lakers have decided not to make any more moves until the start of the NBA season. No trades will be negotiated, and no more players will be signed, despite Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt generating interest from several teams in the transfer market (also info from Deveney from the NBA Rumors).

This way, Los Angeles Lakers conclude a low season where signings like DeAndre Ayton, Jake LaRavia, and Marcus Smart as free agents have been made. The first terminated his contract with the Portland Trail Blazers after two years with the team. The second was the first Free Agency addition, and the third, Smart, was the most controversial due to his past with the Boston Celtics.

The Lakers' decision also reveals that negotiations for the renewal of Austin Reaves have ended. The player has chosen not to extend his contract, although an offer was made to him in June, and he will wait until next summer to become a free agent and secure at least 30 million per season, either in Los Angeles or elsewhere.

Luka Doncic's Major Deal

Lastly, we must mention the definitive move by the Los Angeles Lakers. A week ago, the franchise managed to finalize the contract extension of their superstar, Luka Doncic. The Slovenian guard, since being traded by the Dallas Mavericks, has immediately become the face of the team, even ahead of LeBron James.

The Lakers know that their future lies in pampering Doncic and surrounding him with good teammates. It has been 5 years since the Purple and Gold franchise won their last ring. Also, in 2024, the Celtics secured their 18th title, putting them back above their archrival. Surely, the Los Angeles Lakers will want to change that soon.
