The Los Angeles Lakers had a very desperate situation at the center position last season, and it resulted in exhausting some miserable options to fix that problem. One of which was bringing in Alex Len after the veteran center became available during this past campaign.
Len was waived by the Washington Wizards during the 2024-25 season after being traded there from the Sacramento Kings. The Lakers saw their opportunity and pounced, adding someone who many would have hoped still had some situational value for the team. He didn't.
Len quickly proved to be not much more than a player who would occupy a seat at the end of the bench for the Lakers.
