The echoes of one of the most unexpected and astonishing transfers in history are still reverberating, but there is no room for relaxation. The Los Angeles Lakers are aware that their interior game has been left vulnerable, with Hayes being the only legitimate center they have. That's why they are focusing their efforts on signing a reliable big man to bolster the project, according to NBA rumors.
Maximum excitement has been declared in The Los Angeles Lakers with the signing of Doncic, and rightfully so. However, this cannot overshadow an undeniable fact, which is that it's nearly impossible to win a championship without a center of a certain level. AD's departure has completely exposed the paint in the Angelino franchise, which is exploring the market for a signing before the deadline this Thursday. There are choices to be made and room to make it happen.

The fact that the Lakers still have a first-round Draft pick to negotiate with, as well as players who hold significant clout in the league like Hachimura, allows them to look for impactful pieces. The best quality-price option would be Nic Claxton, but they are also not ruling out others like Clint Capela, Jonas Valanciunas, or DeAndre Ayton. A profile highly favored is that of Walker Kessler, for his defensive and rebounding skills, while Jerami Grant seems to be already eliminated.
