The Los Angeles Lakers have been very active in free agency after trading for Russell Westbrook. It was known then that Rob Pelinka would have his hands full with creating an entire roster and in just two days he is almost done with the job.
As it currently stands, the Los Angeles Lakers have 12 players on the active roster. There are also two two-way players, but the team is still going to want to get to at least 13, if not 14, members of the roster.
We are assuming one of those players will be Jared Dudley. Dudley has a great relationship with LeBron and is a locker room guy more than anything. At this point, he might as well be another coach than a player.
When it comes to how the team is currently constructed, the position that can be addressed is power forward. Anthony Davis is the only “true” four on the team with Carmelo Anthony being the other option.
Trevor Ariza and Kent Bazemore could play the four but are better off as threes.
The Los Angeles Lakers have several power forward options in free agency.
The league is more positionless than ever so this is not a huge pressing need but it is something the team can improve on, especially with Anthony Davis likely playing more center this season.
All three options fit the trend of being minimum signings, as that is all the Lakers can take on. Here are three free-agent power forwards to still pursue.
