The Los Angeles Lakers add a new candidate for the signing of a center

It is imperative to hire a pivot with guarantees to give solidity to the project. The management at Los Angeles Lakers knows this well and is working hard to find an ideal option, that is, good, young, and cheap. After the failed signing of Williams, the list is not extensive, but a new name has emerged in NBA rumors: Onyeka Okongwu.

Efforts to improve the team must not be delayed any longer, with all focus on the pivot position. Los Angeles Lakers know they have little salary cap space and are somewhat hesitant to bet on a veteran player like Capela or on someone quite one-dimensional, like Claxton. Therefore, they are exploring other options in the market, with the recent NBA rumors suggesting the name of Onyeka Okongwu. This athletic Hawks interior player is favored by the coaching staff and could complement Doncic very well.

- Concerns about Okongwu revolve around his height

Added to this is the fact that he is only 24 years old and in the first of the four years of his $62 million contract. Based on salary, conditions, and potential, Onyeka Okongwu could fit perfectly into the roster. Additionally, the Atlanta Hawks have high-level assets in that position and may not see this young player as indispensable. Concerns arise from his height, as he falls somewhat short at 2.08m, although he compensates with his athletic ability.
