Los Angeles Lakers targeting starting big man via trade

L.A. wants to land a new starting big man and use the midlevel exception on a backup

The Lakers plan to trade for a starting center, with Nic Claxton, Robert Williams III, and Walker Kessler among the names discussed with other teams, per Anthony Irwin.

Once that move is secured, the plan is to use the taxpayer midlevel exception to sign a veteran backup. Brook Lopez and Clint Capela are the top options being considered.

Sources describe the plan as solid and likely to succeed, as L.A. looks to reshape its frontcourt and give Anthony Davis support inside.
