All the lovers have a next home, and the Lakers won t be able to sign a center this summer

The 2025 NBA Draft has ended, and the NBA free agent market will officially open next month. There are many insiders who have reported renewal. Adams has renewed his contract with the Rockets for three years of 39 million. Reed is said to have reached a five-year contract with the Timberwolves with a total value of 125 million US dollars. Mark Williams, who almost became a member of the Lakers last season, was sent to the Suns by the Hornets. These are all potential targets for the Lakers center reinforcement. The Lakers will not be able to sign a center this summer.

NBA players' salaries are getting higher and higher, but the renewal prices of these inside players this summer are surprisingly reasonable. The power of the salary cap is really great. It seems difficult for the outrageous signings this summer. This should be a good thing for the Lakers to find the inside, but there are really not many centers that the Lakers can choose at the moment. Although Capela is capable, she is really old. Thomas Bryant and Wagner, the two former Lakers players, are probably not favored by the Lakers.

The Lakers' success has always been inseparable from the big guys. O'Neal, Gasol, Howard, Davis, and the Lakers have the opportunity to compete for the championship after getting big guys. I hope the Lakers can upgrade the No. 5 position very well this summer. If they cannot sign powerful players, the Lakers may not have much competitiveness in the Western Conference next season.
