The Los Angeles Lakers knew they needed another center after the trade with Mark Williams fell through. Jaxson Hayes is going to have to be the starting center for the rest of the season.

Once young and promising center Mark Williams, whom the Los Angeles Lakers traded for a week ago, failed his physical, leading to the trade being rescinded, the Lakers were left with a weak center rotation.

Free agent Alex Len might be a prime candidate for the Los Angeles Lakers after failed deal with the Indiana Pacers.
