One of the most active squads this summer has been the Los Angeles Lakers.
Nonetheless, they still haven’t recruited a full team. The team still needs a center despite the additions of players like Rui Hachimura, D’Angelo Russell, and Austin Reaves, as well as Taurean Prince, Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish, and Jaxson Hayes.
Because of this, the Lakers are widening their Һunt for a center.
The Lakers have room for two additional players on their roster of 13. They are keeping an eye on the market, particularly the core market, as stated by Rоb Pelinka himself. This is when the services of Usman Garuba come in.
After being dealt to Oklahoma from Atlanta as part of a five-team transaction, the Spanish player was released. The Thunder are at maximum capacity, therefore his release was widely anticipated.
The Lakers and other interested teams probably hope Garuba will become a free agency if his contract isn’t claimed within the next 48 hours (the deadline is this Wednesday).
Despite his lack of height, Garuba has useful qualities for the Lakers, including zone space creation, оffensive rebounding, and solid defensive play.
There are rumblings that the Mavericks will release JaVale McGee and that Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will join them in Dallas.
The athlete isn’t in a rush to find out where he’ll be playing in the NBA next season since he’s focused on the World Cup, where a good performance might alter his career trajectory.
