The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to make a significant offer for New York Knicks' center Mitchell Robinson, projected in the $13-15 million range. This comes shortly after the Knicks celebrated an NBA Finals victory and look to retain key players for the upcoming season. ESPN’s Bobby Marks indicated the Lakers might outbid the Knicks for Robinson, given his strong rebounding metrics, including 8.8 rebounds per game and advanced stats showing his effectiveness on both ends of the court.
