The Los Angeles Lakers have done a great job during NBA free agency thus far but the job is not finished. With 13 players on the roster, the Lakers have the means to add more talent. General manager Rob Pelinka confirmed that the team was active in the free-agent center market.
Los Angeles is looking for someone with a different skillset than Jaxson Hayes, meaning that they are looking for someone who can space the floor. With that descriptor in mind, Christian Wood has become heavily connected to the Lakers. That being said, there are reasons to avoid Wood, including potential pushback from a prominent Lakers player.
