The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a horrible loss and a new wave of rumors and news have emerged.

Check out the latest buzz below.

Kobe Says Lakers Still Getting in Shape

Kobe Bryant said after the rough 116-75 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Sunday that the Lakers have been working hard and may have been worn down.

“Kobe says everyone has pretty heavy legs right now, says they’ve been practicing really hard,” reported Lakers Nation Serena Winters.

“We practice really, really hard.”

But Kobe believes that the team will be fine once the regular season starts. “We haven’t started tapering down yet,” he said, reported Lakers reporter Mike Trudell.

“Thinks guys will be more fresh ahead of the regular season. Focus now has been work,” Trudell said, paraphrasing Bryant.

Bryant also praised the Warriors, who he said are an excellent team.

They got some phenomenal players over there--that’s a problem for some of the top defensive teams in the league to deal with,” he said.
