Trade Target 2) Kel’el Ware
The Lakers have been hunting a mobile, floor-spacing center who can thrive in pick-and-roll with Luka, exactly what Lively and Gafford were in Dallas.
Putting up 16 points, 11 rebounds, 7 blocks, and 5 steals V the Nets in early march, Ware is arguably one of the best young center on the market, and would fill the center void the lakers have been looking to fix. Whilst his game isn’t perfect, at 22 Ware has room to grow and improve in his weaker areas, and there’s no better partner to unlock the best in Ware’s game than Luka Dončić
A potential trade for Ware comes from a Giannis deal, where the lakers facilitate a trade as a 3rd team and reroute Ware to LA (possibly increasing since the bucks are interested in Jamie Jaquez 13)

If the Heat cannot land Giannis and see it best fit to retool or “blow it up”, lakers could offer draft capital to attain Ware
