Much of the attention on the Los Angeles Lakers’ personnel needs this offseason has centered around the guard position. The big questions are whether the team will pony up the dough to keep Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell, its starting guards, and whether Russell could be involved in a sign-and-trade.
But Los Angeles could also use more frontcourt depth, especially after it usually went with 6-foot-8 Rui Hachimura and even LeBron James to back up Anthony Davis at the 5 during the playoffs.
