The Los Angeles Lakers may have made most of the moves they needed in the offseason but are still running thin when is about centers, as they only have Jaxson Hayes and the two-way deal rookie Colin Castleton.

Anthony Davis will continue to perform as the Lakers starting center, but coach Ham doesn't have a backup yet, and now that JaVale McGee is no longer an option is time to review the top 3 options Pelinka has in the free agency market.

With McGee out of the picture, the number one option for the Lakers remains to be Christian Wood, but the big man hasn't decided as he is also waiting for the Miami Heat.

The second option in case Wood doesn't land in LA is Bismack Biyombo, and now that has become available, the third center option is the Spanish big Usman Garuba.

The fans want Colin Castleton to receive a standard deal

In case training camp starts for the Lakers and the team hasn't found the big they are looking for, the team could see if Colin Castleton is NBA-ready and offer him a standard contract to use the 14th spot.
