The 5 centers with the most chances of signing with the Lakers this summer

After the failed transfer of Mark Williams, Los Angeles Lakers are expected to engage in relentless activity to bolster the project with a center who fits perfectly with the conditions of Luka Doncic. NBA rumors continue to emerge regarding the operations that may take place this summer.

It is taken for granted that this season they will have to seek glory with a team lacking depth in the paint, placing high hopes on Hayes, who is facing the opportunity of his life. Lebron James and Luka Doncic aim to establish the foundation of their new alliance and see opportunities to achieve something great, but the management is clear that to build a winning dynasty in the near future, they will need a center of certain caliber.

They do not have much salary cap space, which complicates their greatest desire, which is none other than Myles Turner. They will need to work some magic to bring this player in, and it is not entirely clear whether this player is the right fit for a Doncic who seeks more vertical players for screen and roll. The best example of this would be Clint Capela, although it seems that his prime has passed.

There are also two other options, which, although of lesser magnitude, are very athletic players capable of playing above the rim. These are the cases of John Collins and Nic Claxton, with the Nets player being more affordable in terms of what Los Angeles Lakers would have to offer to recruit him. A fifth route could be that of Santi Aldama, a player whose contract ends in the summer and who could have a great understanding both with Luka, due to his ability to finish plays under the hoop, and with Lebron, as he can space the floor and shoot effectively. Many uncertainties to be resolved in the near future.
