The Los Angeles Lakers already had a need at center and it is even more pressing now with the team trading away Anthony Davis in the blockbuster deal that landed them Luka Doncic. Many are expecting Rob Pelinka and the Lakers front office to add a big man before the upcoming trade deadline, but that may be easier said than done.
Pelinka has already spoken about the trade market for centers being ‘very dry’ right now and said a move is more likely to happen in the offseason because of it. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t making an effort to bring in a big body.
