Lakers lose, party in Miami

SO what do they drink when they win? Despite losing to the Heat over the weekend, the struggling LA Lakers seemed to have a blast in Miami — tipping back some very pricey drinks including a $10,500 bottle of vino.

On Saturday night, Carmelo Anthony was spotted at celeb steakhouse Prime 112 with Haute Living magazine’s Kamal Hotchandani and friends, drinking “extremely expensive wine,” spies said, including a Barolo, Vega Sicilia Unico and a grand cru.

On Sunday, the team fell to the Heat — dropping their record to below .500 — but they didn’t seem too shaken up after the defeat. Following the game, Lakers including LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Anthony were seen at Miami hot spot Kiki on the River — which is known for hosting starry bashes such as Larsa Pippen’s last birthday party.

We hear the team was drinking a $10,500 bottle of Petrus and had a bottle of James’ tequila brand, Lobos 1707.

And Westbrook, amid rumors that he’ll be traded, seems like he might spend more time in Miami. On Monday morning, the point guard was seen taking a virtual tour — using an Oculus headset — of the luxury E11even Residences, which open in two weeks. “He was looking at units for investment,” said a source.

The residences — a partnership between E11even nightclubs’ Marc Roberts and Michael Simkins and Property Markets Group — reportedly sold out its first phase of development and there are plans for a second.

Roberts told the Real Deal that buyers have included “people in their 20s, crypto buyers, celebrities and influencers, and a lot of our clientele” at the nightclub, including the WNBA’s Candace Parker, ESPN host Sage Steele and MMA fighter Luke Rockhold.

A rep for the team didn’t get back to us. Earlier this month, James tweeted to fans that the Lakers would improve after they were publicly dissed by team legend Magic Johnson.
