The Lakers have an obvious need at the center position at Mozgov could fill the void. Many people believed that the Lakers will and still may pursue Golden State Warriors big man Festus Ezeli due to his connection with head coach Luke Walton.

Los Angeles was to be considering Hassan Whiteside but it looks like the price point for Whiteside is significantly higher than Mozgov.

Mozgov was a part of the Cavaliers championship team last year but saw his minutes get cut during the playoffs and when Tyronn Lue took over. Mozgov would be a upgrade over Roy Hibbert.
