Lakers At Risk Of Losing Top Center Target To Warriors originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Los Angeles Lakers ’ search for a reliable veteran center may hit another frustrating roadblock this offseason, as longtime NBA insider Marc Stein reports that Al Horford is "destined" to sign with the Golden State Warriors.

A potential center target was added to the mix for the Los Angeles Lakers with the Portland Trail Blazers buying out Deandre Ayton.

There is now talk that the Lakers are scouring the trade market for a solution at the center position. They have been linked to Nick Richards of the Phoenix Suns, and according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, there are four other big men they're after.

The LA Lakers have been in dire need of a center this offseason as they look to address their biggest problem from last year’s run.

After securing a new center with part of their MLE, the Lakers are turning their attention to other needs as they fill out their roster.

The Los Angeles Lakers aim to bolster their roster for the 2024-25 season, and adding a center tops their priority list. Though a promising candidate seems poised to join, a former NBA champion has revealed surprising insights that cast doubt on his potential arrival.

Deandre Ayton has agreed to a buyout of his contract with the Trail Blazers, which is leading to speculation that he could sign with the Lakers.

The Lakers are actively searching the NBA trade market for viable center options, which had led them to Nick Richards, Yves Missi, and others.

In anticipation of the upcoming season, LeBron James and Luka Doncic are set to encounter new teammates on their respective squads. The Los Angeles Lakers, in particular, look to rebound after a disappointing playoff run last season.

If LeBron James wants to add to his NBA championship ring collection, which features one fewer than the late Kobe Bryant and two less than Micahel Jordan, then he must seriously consider splitting from the Los Angeles Lakers.
