Lakers Target Wiggins, Centers in Offseason Moves

The Los Angeles Lakers are entering a crucial offseason after an early playoff exit and are targeting upgrades at center and wing to support Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Reports indicate they are considering veteran centers such as Brook Lopez and Kevon Looney, although it's uncertain if either deal will occur. The Lakers are also pursuing a potential trade for Andrew Wiggins, now with the Miami Heat following his tenure with the Warriors, to address defensive and wing needs. Multiple insiders believe Wiggins could be a strong fit, and forward Rui Hachimura may be included in trade discussions. Meanwhile, the Warriors are expected to make their own roster moves, and Wiggins is viewed as expendable in Miami. Securing both center depth and wing defense is considered essential for the Lakers to contend next season.
