Weakness in the restricted area has become a fatal injury in the playoffs, and the Lakers will strengthen the center in the offseason

The Lakers were out of the NBA playoffs in the first round, and the weak power in the restricted area became a fatal injury, and on the 2nd, Lakers head coach Rob Pelinka made it clear that he would strengthen the center in the offseason.

Doncic

The Lakers launched a blockbuster midseason trade to trade away star interior "AD" Davis in exchange for Doncic, and Pelinka said: "When you make such a big trade and you swap the starting center for a point guard, it's bound to have a big impact on the overall roster, and we've seen those issues surface. ”

Pelinka exclaimed: "This team needs more height, it needs a center, but the time before the trade deadline is limited, we can't explore every possibility to strengthen the box, but now we have time." Pelinka stressed that one of the main goals of the off-season is to strengthen the center.

Pelinka also revealed that the ideal center forward is a player with "aerial relay threat" and "rim protection ability".
