The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in acquiring a center from the Phoenix Suns via trade this offseason.

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to add depth to the frontcourt this offseason, and they reportedly have their eye on a Phoenix Suns big man.

There is now talk that the Lakers are scouring the trade market for a solution at the center position. They have been linked to Nick Richards of the Phoenix Suns, and according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, there are four other big men they're after.

After seeing Dorian Finney-Smith leave town to sign with the Houston Rockets, the Lakers brought in 23-year-old forward Jake LaRavia in their first free agency signing.

Forward Jake LaRavia agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with the Lakers, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania, a move that comes as Dorian Finney-Smith reached a four-year, $53 million deal with the Rockets.

Despite having a glaring need at center, the Los Angeles Lakers' first notable addition in free agency turned out to be Jake LaRavia.

The Lakers lost a key role player when forward Dorian Finney-Smith agreed to a deal with the Houston Rockets, but they quickly moved onward by agreeing to a deal with forward Jake LaRavia when NBA free agency opened Monday afternoon.

After declining his $15.4 million player option with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2025-26 season, Dorian Finney-Smith reportedly agreed to a contract with the Houston Rockets.
