Lakers show interest in Bulls' Jalen Smith as trade target

The Los Angeles Lakers are exploring potential roster changes as they seek to bolster their lineup this summer. With the offseason in full swing, the team is reportedly targeting Jalen Smith from the Chicago Bulls to fill a center position. Smith, who has drawn attention from some in the Lakers organization, averaged 10.2 points and 6.7 rebounds last season, but concerns regarding his $9.5 million contract and his height at 6-foot-8 may complicate a deal. The Lakers are also pursuing Jonathan Kuminga, and Smith could become a backup option if those efforts do not succeed.
