The Los Angeles Lakers have been seeking a backup center and discussed a swap with the Milwaukee Bucks involving Dalton Knecht for Jericho Sims. Talks reportedly fell through due to the Bucks' demand for two second-round picks in addition to Knecht, which the Lakers deemed too high. Sims, who has limited playing time this season, has previously shown potential as a rebounder and defender.
