It seems like the Lakers are on a mission to leave no stone unturned to become the prime contenders for the championship. After bringing in Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks, in what will remain as one of the biggest jaw-dropping transfers of all time, the Lakers are still determined to solidify their squad and as per a report, they have two more names on the radar.
Two Names Stand Out For The LA Lakers
The Lakers' attempt to sign Mike Williams fell out after the player failed his physical test. The Lakers then attained an agreement with center Alen Lin and now they are reportedly after two more individuals. NBA reporter Evan Sidery stated the names of players using X.
"Two names continue to be mentioned in league circles as potential Lakers center trade targets this summer: Myles Turner and Nic Claxton. Turner can be acquired via sign-and-trade, if they overwhelm the Pacers with an offer. The Nets have been open to moving Claxton for months."

Turner or Caxton
Turner to Lakers has remained an active assertion for the last couple of years, and hence he could finally earn the golden and purple jersey soon. At 6-foot-11 and 250 pounds, Turner is exceptional when it comes to protecting the rim and could be entrusted with shooting from a distance to gain 3-pointers These attributes of his make the ideal cut for the Lakers. As he is set to become a free agent the Lakers could come in serious business to rope him in.
Contrary to Turner, Claxton isn't a 3-point shooter, but have a distinguished ability for rebounds and can help the defence by blocking shots. He is averaging 10.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 26.6 minutes.
As the Lakers are still exploring the market, it will be interesting to note whether they will be willing to go the extra mile to bring in more fresh faces in the squad.
