Brian Windhorst advises Lakers to pursue Heat center Kel'el Ware

On June 12, Brian Windhorst suggested that the Los Angeles Lakers consider acquiring Kel'el Ware, a young center from the Miami Heat. With speculation surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential move to Miami, Ware may become available if the Heat decide to trade him. Windhorst highlighted Ware's skills, including his ability to stretch the floor and contribute defensively. Averaging 11.1 points and 9 rebounds in 22.1 minutes this season, Ware has demonstrated offensive versatility, hitting nearly 40% of his three-point attempts. The Lakers face challenges in finding a better starting center and may need to explore less conventional options as the summer progresses.
