The Los Angeles Lakers‘ first order of business in the aftermath of the shocking trade to swap Anthony Davis for Luka Dončić‘is to fill in the gaping hole at the center position.
They were previously linked to several big men such as Utah’s Walker Kessler, Washington’s Jonas Valančiūnas and Portland’s Robert Williams III. A new name has been added to the list by Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor.
“League sources say the Lakers are looking for a big man and Mitchell Robinson from the New York Knicks is one of the bigs they are targeting,” O’Connor said on his podcast “The Kevin O’Connor Show” on Sunday, Feb. 2. “That’s what I’m hearing in the aftermath so far, after that absolutely nuts Lakers-Mavericks-Jazz trade that happened in the wee hours on Saturday into Sunday.”
