The decision-making process cannot be postponed any longer. In the management of Los Angeles Lakers, they are working hard to find an important perimeter reinforcement that will start to convince LeBron James that they can pursue the championship ring this season or at least lay the foundations for a championship team by 2027. Numerous NBA rumors point to four names.

There is much talk about the urgent need to sign a starting center, but it cannot be ignored that Los Angeles Lakers also need reliable perimeter players, especially on defense. The departure of Finney-Smith makes it imperative to consider incorporating a specialist in this position, though there are other options. Malcolm Brogdon and Marcus Smart would perfectly fit that player mold, giving the team a very competitive edge and providing rest minutes for Doncic.

Another slightly more economical and modest approach would be to take advantage of Josh Okogie's presence in Free Agency to secure his services, acquiring a seasoned 3&D player at a reasonable price. The other path to explore could be to seek the landing of Bradley Beal through a formula where he would give up part of his salary, not just finding a good defender but also a lethal offensive player who, if he rediscovers his top form, could greatly boost the project.
