Internal discussions reportedly center on unrestricted free agent Andrew Wiggins, a plus defender who won a championship with the Warriors in 2022. The Lakers are also eyeing restricted free agents Peyton Watson and Tari Eason, though landing the latter two may require an overpay.
Other names mentioned include Quentin Grimes and Dean Wade. The Lakers hold roughly $50 million in cap space as they look to build around franchise player Luka Doncic.
