Once again, the Lakers have reached that point where making the right touches seems essential. LeBron James (expected to be renewed) and Anthony Davis will be the team's leaders again, and from here doubts appear in all directions. Bolster the point guard position, find a star, focus on secondary players, get good internal support for La Ceja… the list is by no means short, and sometimes it's impossible to complete; Of course that won't happen because the gold and purple ones aren't putting in all their efforts.

According to Jake Fisher of Yahoo SportsThe Lakers would have set their sights on Jonas Valanciunas with the aim of including a big man to help Anthony Davis in the internal struggle, either sharing the court with him or replacing him.

The truth is, a good option is emerging for Angelenos. The Lithuanian center will enter unrestricted free agency, and at 32 years old has more than proven his value as a force and insider; Of course, a different question is whether he's exactly the player the gold and purple need. Beyond that, it remains to be seen what kind of contract he could get and how much the Lakers would be willing to put on the table.
