Lakers predicted to trade for $5.2M six-foot-ten ex-Knicks lob threat to pair with Luka Doncic
The Los Angeles Lakers is the best team in the Western Conference, but they still need a backup center. In this potential deal, they get someone that Luka Doncic would love to play with.
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considering a trade for Jericho Sims, a six-foot-ten ex-Knicks player who could serve as a strong backup center to Luka Doncic. Sims, who is currently on a $5.2 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, has shown excellent finishing skills around the rim with a career field-goal percentage of 74.2%.
His ability to thrive as a lob-finisher aligns well with Doncic's playing style, making him an attractive option for the Lakers. The trade could potentially be a cost-effective solution to address the Lakers' need for a versatile center, providing more depth behind Kessler while complementing Doncic's playing style.
