After finding themselves with a severe deficiency at center, the Lakers are developing an internal strategy to fix their frontcourt.

Giannis Antetokounmpo defended criticism of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who was accused of having no offensive bag.

The Lakers could have a real shot at signing one soon-to-be free agent center whom they're reportedly interested in.

However, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers in five quick games, sending LeBron James and Luka Doncic home early. For Los Angeles to win a championship in the James-Doncic era, president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka may need to acquire a third All-Star this offseason.

While playing in Puerto Rico, Cousins had an altercation with a fan that was caught on video. Cousins took issue with the crybaby motion that the fan made, and that turned into each of them flipping each other off. It was a truly bizarre exchange that is, unfortunately, not unlike Cousins.

Over the last few seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers have had an utter lack of two-way players, and in particular, 3-and-D wings. In late December, shortly after a bad, prolonged slump, they acquired veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith in a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.

In the scenario, the Lakers lose four key players, but it only costs them one of their two first-round picks available for trade. The first-round pick in this scenario is the 2031 pick, the only one that the Charlotte Hornets offered for Mark Williams before that deal was rescinded.

The Utah Jazz are reportedly open to considering all trade offers, including those for their standout young center, Walker Kessler.

The most recent reports suggested Utah is looking for multiple future first-round picks in any potential trade for Kessler. However, with a Kessler trade unlikely, there will be some solid veteran options on the trade and free agent market this summer. One of them is Milwaukee Bucks star Brook Lopez.
