Despite recent disappointments on the court, the Los Angeles Lakers continue to stay busy in the offseason. The team made a key signing, along with other news in the past week.
After yet another disappointing season that saw the Lakers win just 26 games, new Head of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson and new GM Rob Pelinka have been fairly active in the offseason. This week has been no different, as the Lakers have welcomed a new signing along with various other news and rumors.
With the future in mind, every move the Lakers make seems to be calculated and precise. Chances are these moves and decisions are no different, as the team wants to return to the glory that has alluded the franchise for the last four seasons. The first bit of news doesn’t affect us fans but may boost the players’ performance on the court.
Lakers are impressed by new practice facility
The Los Angeles Lakers moved away from the Toyota Sports Center, the practice center they have called home this entire century, in favor of the brand new UCLA Health Training Center. Located just two blocks away, the UCLA Health Training Center boasts two courts across 120 thousand square feet.
The Lakers took to their official Twitter account to showcase how the players were responding to the facility. As you can see, there was nothing but great reviews.

Let’s hope that this new practice facility can translate into new success on the court for the Lakers. Before you know it, we will likely be seeing Kobe Bryant in the facility training these young kids to hone in their inner Mamba mentality.
