There has been no greater need for the Los Angeles Lakers over the last year than a legitimate center. It has been the most blatant hole on the roster and one that everyone and their mothers knew entering free agent absolutely had to be addressed for the team to ultimately get where they wanted to go,

Most of the big names are accounted for. LeBron James is staying with the Lakers (for now). James Harden is returning to the Clippers. Kyrie Irving will be back on the Mavs when he's healthy. The Wolves retained both Julius Randle and Naz Reid.
