Shams said earlier on SC that the FO “is working on marginal moves right now” and “will look to add a center but will only be a marginal upgrade”. Says bigger moves will come in the summer.
Sounds like trades are coming but dont expect anything huge.
Lakers are pursuing “center trade options” before the deadline. Trade candidates include Claxton, Robert Willams, Jonas, and Poeltl.

Things change quickly this time of year but from what I’m hearing, it sounds like the Lakers are trying to keep their rotation intact and acquire the center they need by moving Kleber or their expiring veteran minimum deals.
