The Los Angeles Lakers are waiving guard Kobe Bufkin, sources tell ESPN. This opens a roster spot for the Lakers to evaluate a signing over the weekend.
Per Dan Woike, Lakers will use this weekend to evaluate players for the final roster spot. Who do you think would be the best fit? NSJ for ball handling, Timme as a point-center, or someone else?

[Dave McMenamin]🚨 JJ Redick said he plans to expand the rotation going from 9 to potentially 11 players for now, per Dave
Dalton Knecht, Kobe Bufkin, and Nick Smith Jr. have joined the team in Dallas
Cap experts can you explain how much cap space will we have next season? I know that Austin reaves will have a 20m cap hold. So if we don’t re-sign Rui Kleber and keep Kennard at a similar contract will we have around 70m in cap space?
Our Depth Issue- We have 8 bad players not including Kleber who are not getting any play-time at all. Nearly every NBA team let alone contending team has more useable players. — I don’t know why our depth and two ways are mostly made up of small guards or one-way players. We obviously needed length and athleticism and defence but Pelinka chose to stick to redundant players who fill no holes in the rotation. Theres many small pickups that could be had.
Nick smith jr, Chris manon, Jared Vanderbilt, Adou thiero, drew timme, Knecht,Kobe Bufkin, bronny james. Then a maxi kleber who’s injured. Contrast this with thunder who has nearly every position filled with someone compe

Orlando is on a 3-game losing streak and after being torched two Alexanders for 40 points, I'm going to check the Lakers roster for any other Alexanders just to be safe. — Charlotte dropped a ton of threes on our head, but they've been doing for three months now, so no Alexanders needed for that. Lakers are on a roll though, so they may not need an Alexander for this game. This honestly feels like a "Where's Austin?" game since LeBron and Luka have both been having a great week.

3 GOOD/3 BAD/1 WTF on 3/2/2026 vs. Kangz — Back to back blowout wins against teams they should beat?!? These Lakers?!?! INCONCEIVABLE! After two crushing losses, the Lakers bounced back nicely. Funny how in a parallel universe, the Lakers have gone 5-1 since All Star break and are currently the 3rd seed. Alas, this team lost two games by a combined 5 points and then proceeded to win the next two by a combined 52 points. Don't look now, but we have a +0.5 net rating(!!!). Let's dive into it
**GOOD**
**Luka and LeBron -** Combined 52
I don’t understand the Kobe bufkin signing — Granted I’ve only seen him in the few stints he’s played since he got brought up to the main team, but I haven’t seen anything from him that validates signing him. I didn’t see him play in the g league but read comments about how he can score. I just don’t get it bc of his play style. He needs the ball in his hands a lot to get in a rhythm (and even then he still seems cold). He just seems like a really bad fit around Luka and AR. What am I missing?
Should we give Kobe Bufkin a chance? — With how bad the defense has been, I’d really like to see JJ at least give some of the younger guys a shot, especially players who can defend and shoot like Kobe Bufkin. Maybe I'm overstepping here, but this current defensive lineup is seriously driving me crazy.

League is all about size and athleticism at guard position and the lakers especially need it why do we keep signing small guards? — Lakers need good defence athleticism length and size. However even our 2 ways or any roster spot we have available is filled with either one way unathletic offensive players or small guards. Nick smith jr, Bufkin, timme, (bronny), manon, now we traded for kennard. Unathletic offensive players are the last thing we need.
Haywood highsmith would’ve been a way more useful piece to build around Luka for the future. Than Kobe Bufkin lmao.

JJ Redick on the Lakers' decision to sign Kobe Bufkin to their final roster spot instead of a buyout player:
Kobe Bufkin Was UNSTOPPABLE! He Led Both Teams With 41 PTS and Went 8/13 From Deep 🎯🔥
[Charania] The Los Angeles Lakers are signing guard Kobe Bufkin to a two-year deal, with a team option for the 2026-27 season, sources tell ESPN. Bufkin has starred for L.A.'s South Bay affiliate and now rejoins the Lakers in his third NBA season to fill their 15th roster spot.
Kobe Bufkin explodes for 41 points and 8 assists (8/13 from 3) for the South Bay Lakers
We need to address some things — Few Days left for trade deadline. Our Ass bench is hoarding 35-40 Million Dollars while being so ass that they have had the lowest-scoring bench in the playoffs for two consecutive years.
12 PPG in 2024 and 11 PPG in 2025.
We can legit be trophy contenders if our front office wakes up.
How would you assess Kobe Bufkin off his 10-day contract? Would you want him signed?
