Following their first-round playoff exit to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Los Angeles Lakers are focusing on strengthening their roster for the upcoming season. A key target is Mitchell Robinson, a 7-foot center from the New York Knicks, who has garnered attention for his rebounding prowess and defensive capabilities. Jake Fischer from The Stein Line reports that the Lakers are among the top potential landing spots for Robinson, alongside teams like the Chicago Bulls, Charlotte Hornets, and Toronto Raptors, all of which are seeking center upgrades. The Knicks, currently two wins away from their first championship since 1973, are likely to fight hard to keep Robinson, a valuable asset averaging 5.2 points and 5.3 rebounds during the playoffs, while shooting an impressive 73.8% from three-point range. His reliability on the boards is underscored by his average of 11.6 rebounds per 40 minutes this season. Winning the competition for Robinson will be challenging, but the Lakers are determined to be in the mix this offseason as they look to build a team capable of supporting star Luka Doncic for future success.
