According to Lakers GM Rob Pelinka, the team is not done adding talent in 2023 NBA free agency! The Lakers would like to add a big man that doesn't have the same skill set as Jaxson Hayes, who the Lakers signed from the New Orleans Pelicans. Christian Wood has been the most frequently-mentioned name among Lakers Rumors, but Bismack Biyombo is picking up some steam in the free agent market. We also take a look at the 2023 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where the Lakers have gotten off to a 2-0 start.

Is an Anthony Davis contract extension coming? According to Rob Pelinka, the Lakers love Anthony Davis and talked positively about him. Davis is eligible to sign a three-year, $167 MM extension at the beginning of August.
Rob Pelinka on an Anthony Davis contract extension:
“I wish the CBA allowed us to talk about negotiations ... but there's pretty strict rules around that. So can't really talk about contracts and negotiations, but couldn't think more highly of Anthony Davis as a Laker and as a player. He's helped deliver a championship to our franchise. He's been an incredible captain and leader. We saw last year, willing to play through a hard foot injury to get our team to the Western Conference finals. So, just love having him as a part of our team.”

Rob Pelinka on what the Lakers are looking to add in 2023 NBA free agency:
“I think dimensional-izing the skills at that position would be important. So we don't want to sign someone who replicates the skills that Jaxson Hayes has. So, if we can diversify the big position and have different looks, that would be good.”
