Lakers linked to Knicks' 7-foot center Mitchell Robinson this offseason

The Los Angeles Lakers are identified as a leading destination for New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson during this offseason.

Robinson, a pivotal contributor for the Knicks, has averaged 5.2 points and 5.3 rebounds in the postseason while shooting 73.8% from beyond the arc.
