The Los Angeles Lakers want to trade for a former Boston Celtics center, but so does another team with more assets to offer.

If the Los Angeles Lakers aren't interested in adding a reliable point guard before the Feb. 6 trade deadline, they should at least pursue a viable low-post partner for Anthony Davis. Landing a former Boston Celtics center who carved out a respectable role with the franchise could help strengthen their frontcourt.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis has been candid about his desire for the team to trade for another center. Here are four candidates that could help the playoff push.

The Boston Celtics recently had a back-to-back in Los Angeles. They overcame the Los Angeles Clippers but fell to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, during their time in the City of Angeles, Jayson Tatum found some time to make an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Jayson Tatum struggled from the field shooting 5-14 with 19 points while Jaylen Brown carried a majority of the load shooting 10-23 and finishing with 28 points. Payton Pritchard added 15 points off the bench including the unsuccessful full-court heave as time expired.

The Boston Celtics’ superstar Jayson Tatum didn’t score a point in the first half of the team’s 114-112 loss to the Houston Rockets, and he only took 14 shots. It can’t become a habit for the player or team.
