According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to pursue the Sacramento Kings big man Hassan Whiteside under certain circumstances:
“The Los Angeles Lakers are monitoring the developments of the Sacramento Kings’ seldom-used rim protector, league sources told Yahoo Sports. If the defending champs strike out on landing Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond, then Whiteside would be a nice contingency plan.”
Whiteside has played nine seasons for the Miami Heat, Portland Trail Blazers, and Kings. He has averaged 13.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks in 433 regular-season games.
