Luka To Host Mini-Camp | Mitchell Robinson Was Plan B? | Did Lakers Want LeBron Back? [1GJ2fypWNKj]
The Lakers offseason continues to generate headlines as we break down the latest news and rumors on today's episode of Hoops Talk w/Allen Sliwa featuring special guest Trevor Lane! We discuss Luka Dončić's four-day mini-camp in Slovenia, where he's invited the entire Lakers roster, including the team's two-way players, for workouts, team bonding, sightseeing, and preparation ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. We break down what this says about Luka's leadership and how the trip could help build chemistry before training camp. We also examine reports that Mitchell Robinson was the Lakers' backup plan before the team ultimately landed Walker Kessler, and what that reveals about Rob Pelinka's vision for building around Luka. Plus, we discuss the latest on Jonathan Kuminga's unrestricted free agency, why there still hasn't been any significant movement in his market, and whether the Lakers remain a realistic landing spot as free agency continues.
