PELINKA TARGETING 'RIGHT' PLAYERS!The good news is it appears that Rob Pelinka and the Lakers front office is focusing on the 'right' players this offseason as possible starting and backup centers.I like the interest in Walker Kessler, Nic Claxton, and Robert Williams III as… https://t.co/4bO8V9FKo7 pic.twitter.com/Z9BIFxs2Yx— LakerTom (@LakerTom) June 18, 2025
In other words…He’s looking at just about every 2nd & 3rd rate center in the league. Congrats on doing your job Rob!!!
Kessler, Claxton, and Williams are probably the Lakes’ best starting center candidates and Lopez and Capela their best backup center candidates at this point. Key name is still WALKER KESSLER. His age, salary, size, rim protection, and rebounding are elite and would allow upgrading other non superstar starters.
This list is has a lot better center candidates than previous lists with names like Kristaps Porzingis, Jonas Valanciunas, Nikola Vučević, Andre Drummond, DeAndre Jordan, Goga Bitadze or other names that used to be talked about.
