The Los Angeles Lakers appear 'laser focused' on fixing a major roster flaw, according to a Western Conference executive. The Lakers seem to be prioritizing the signing of a big man in the offseason. Los Angeles has been struggling to find a reliable center since trading away Anthony Davis. The team's current center situation is a major concern, with Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes handling most of the center minutes. However, the Lakers were swept in the second round of the playoffs, and it's clear they need an upgrade at the position. The team's vision at the position is unclear, with Ayton having a player option and Hayes being a free agent. The Lakers may be able to get away with a center that isn't super talented offensively but can hold his own on the defensive end. There could be some intriguing options on the market, especially since Walker Kessler and Jalen Duren are set to become restricted free agents. However, it's unclear if the Lakers will actually end up landing an impact center before the start of the 2026-27 season.
