Bobby Marks advises Lakers on center position upgrades

Bobby Marks, ESPN's NBA salary cap expert, discusses potential upgrades for the Los Angeles Lakers at the center position. With free agency approaching, the Lakers have two options: operate with salary cap space by renouncing the rights to key players or remain over the cap. Marks believes the best strategy involves trading to acquire a center rather than relying solely on free agency. He suggests targeting players like Walker Kessler, Jalen Duren, and Mitchell Robinson, although he warns that Robinson is not a full-time starter. The Lakers are reportedly prepared to offer Robinson their full mid-level exception as they seek improvements ahead of the upcoming season.
