The Lakers have a lot of work to do this offseason, and as today's guest Raj Chipalu of Lakers Today notes, they're going to need to compress what normally is a few cycles of team improvement windows (trade deadlines, summertime) into a shorter amount of time if they want to catch up quickly to the leaders atop the West. So what does that look like in practice? We continue our offseason makeover conversation with Raj trying to figure out where help will come from. At the center position, is it worth taking a big swing for Walker Kessler? Would a less sexy acquisition like Daniel Gafford be a better target? Are high profile wings more likely? Can the Lakers pry someone like Peyton Watson from the Nuggets? Or would a better, if riskier, potential solution be to take on the contracts a lot of teams are trying to move? A Cam Johnson or Christian Braun from the Nuggets, for example? Especially if it means moving dead roster spots (Jared Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht) without giving up draft capital.. Should the Lakers get a little crazy? Photo Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with Guest Raj Chipalu!
