The Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the 2025 NBA Playoffs in the first round after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games, failing to advance further in the title race. The team’s early exit has set the stage for a pivotal offseason, with inevitable roster changes ahead.

The Lakers will focus on acquiring young talent through the 2025 NBA Draft but hold only a second-round pick. Key offseason priorities include resolving the futures of star players LeBron James (undecided on next season), Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves (both extension-eligible), as well as evaluating role players entering the final year of their contracts.

The NBA’s 2024-25 offseason calendar includes critical dates: June 25-26 (draft), June 29 (deadline for contract options), June 30 (start of free agency negotiations), July 1 (new league year begins), July 6 (official signings/trades resume), July 10-20 (Las Vegas Summer League), and late September (training camps). August will see a lull in activity before preparations for the 2025-26 season intensify.

Contractual deadlines for roster adjustments, such as waivers and salary cap considerations, are set for August 5 and 29. The Lakers’ front office faces significant decisions to reshape the team ahead of training camp and the upcoming season.
