Lakers Interested in Daniel Gafford Again

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to acquire a center who complements Luka Dončić, with Daniel Gafford emerging as a potential trade target following the Mavericks’ front office shakeup. Gafford, instrumental in the Mavs’ previous success, is considered available due to the team’s shift toward a new era led by Cooper Flagg. His manageable contract through 2028-29 and past performance make him an attractive option, despite concerns over his recent injury history. The Lakers may pursue a deal if they are willing to gamble on his health, potentially using Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt to match salaries.
