US media analyzes that the Lakers are trying to recruit a starting center player during the offseason

On June 22, the US media analyzed that the Lakers are trying to recruit a starting center player in the offseason. They target Nets center Clarkston, Hawks center Capela, Bucks center Lopez and others, but according to the market prices of Clarkston and Lopez, it is obvious that the Lakers have difficulty with this salary space to sign up!

According to a reporter from the famous American sports media "Open-Air Stand": The Lakers can use the mini-middle $5.7 million to recruit Hawks center Capela, who will return to his free agent during the offseason. However, other media believe that Capela is still in her year of playing. It is also unrealistic for the Lakers to just rely on such a cheap contract to get him. Capela's market price is at least more than $8 million. Other teams in the league, such as the Warriors, Clippers, Pistons, etc., are full of interest in Capela!

31-year-old Capela plays as a center position. She plays for the NBA Hawks in 2024-2025. She plays a total of 55 games in the regular season this season, averaging 21.5 minutes per game, scoring 8.9 points + 8.5 rebounds + 1.1 assists + 0.6 steals + 1.0 blocks, shooting percentage of 55.0% and free throw percentage of 53.0%. Although he lost the starting center position with the Hawks this season, he can still provide strong defensive power on the defensive end, and he is worthy of any playoff team to choose!
