The Lakers must upgrade their inside strength this summer, 17+5 players are the preferred ones, and the former Rockets center on the West Finals

Although the first round of the playoffs has not ended yet, most teams can already focus on the offseason. Especially the Los Angeles Lakers, with the advantage of home court, were actually swept by the Timberwolves and were eliminated in the first round. The biggest problem with the Lakers in this round of the series is that the inside line is being broken through, and the Timberwolves have great advantages in this regard. Therefore, if the Lakers want to achieve better results next season, they must upgrade their inside strength this summer. Local media listed the free market and the list of center players worth paying attention to. Pacers' strong player Miles Turner is the preferred one, and former Rockets' West Final center Clint Capela is also on the list.

In the series against the Bucks, Miles Turner dominated the inside and performed higher than the regular season. He averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. Myers Turner has been playing for the Pacers since entering the league, but he has been caught in rumors of leaving the team almost every year, and he will be a free agent again in the offseason. In fact, there have been more than once rumors of affair with the Lakers. Whether Luca Doncic or LeBron James, they all need to partner with high-quality centers. In addition to eating at the basket, Miles Turner also has stable shooting ability. He threw a 37.5% three-point shooting percentage in the first round of the playoffs. Miles Turner also has a very presence on the defensive end. His average blocking data and reserve requirement ratio reduction rate have always been at the forefront of the league. He is definitely the number one choice for the Lakers center position.

Clint Capela followed the Rockets and scored all the way to the Western Conference Final Warriors, but as she grew older, especially with injuries this season, Clint Capela is no longer in the Hawks' future plan. Obviously, even if he returns, he can only serve as a substitute for Okonggu. The Lakers are different. The team lacks good centers. As the saying goes, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. He is still very good at eating cakes in the inside. Compared with the current Lakers centers, he can better protect rebounds and frame protection.

Timberwolves' sixth man Naz Reed averaged 11.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in the first round of the playoffs, and his overall three-point shooting percentage was even more than 50%. Naz Reed has a player option this summer, and he is not the kind of top blue-collar worker, but Naz Reed is definitely a perfect addition to a team that lacks bench firepower. Other centers mentioned include Brooke Lopez, Al Horford, Kevin Rooney, Andre Drummond and Prisches Achuva, but they can only be considered spare tires for the Lakers at most.
