The Los Angeles Lakers are actively seeking to improve their roster this offseason, particularly aiming for a starting-caliber center. Recent rumors suggested potential interest in Utah Jazz player John Collins and possibly Walker Kessler. However, Marc Stein reports that the Lakers' interest in Collins may be overstated, as Kessler has been deemed unavailable by the Jazz. The Lakers already have depth at the forward position with LeBron James and others, making Collins an imperfect fit despite his strong performance last season, averaging 19 points and 8.2 rebounds.
