Lakers Plan Trade for Clippers' Ivica Zubac to Boost Title Chances

The Los Angeles Lakers are actively seeking to bolster their frontcourt depth following their high-profile trade for Luka Doncic, which sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks. A primary target for the Lakers is former player Ivica Zubac of the Los Angeles Clippers, who has been performing exceptionally well this season. General manager Rob Pelinka is reportedly considering a trade involving rookie Dalton Knecht and other assets to bring Zubac back to Los Angeles. Additionally, the Lakers may revisit a deal for Mark Williams, a center they previously attempted to acquire before a failed physical halted the trade. Williams has shown promise since the trade deadline, averaging strong numbers with the Hornets, which could make him an attractive option. The Lakers aim to enhance their roster to maximize their championship potential alongside stars LeBron James and Doncic.
