As the Lakers continue looking for centers in the free agent market, Al Horford has reportedly emerged as a potential option

The Los Angeles Lakers are interested in Deandre Ayton and Al Horford. The Lakers need a center for Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Ayton and Horford are unrestricted free agents. Ayton finalized a contract buyout with the Portland Trail Blazers to become a free agent.

Despite having a glaring need at the center position, the Los Angeles Lakers' first notable addition in free agency turned out to be Jake LaRavia.

After seeing Dorian Finney-Smith leave town to sign with the Houston Rockets, the Lakers brought in 23-year-old forward Jake LaRavia in their first free agency signing. LaRavia is not a household name.

The Lakers lost a key role player when forward Dorian Finney-Smith agreed to a deal with the Houston Rockets, but they quickly moved onward by agreeing to a deal with forward Jake LaRavia when NBA free agency opened Monday afternoon.
