The Los Angeles Lakers are aiming to strengthen their center position before the end of the offseason, targeting potential signings such as Jericho Sims from the Milwaukee Bucks, Jalen Smith from the Chicago Bulls, and Carlo Matkovic from the New Orleans Pelicans, according to The Athletic.

Despite bringing in Walker Kessler and Kevon Looney during the offseason, the Lakers remain dissatisfied with the depth at the five spot. Kessler has struggled with injuries, while Looney is not viewed as a reliable primary option.

The Lakers have already allocated a significant portion of their available salary cap space, which could make securing another quality center a challenging task.
