The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a shocking blockbuster over the weekend, landing Luka Doncic in exchange for Anthony Davis.

While NBA fans are still having a difficult time wrapping their heads around this move, the Lakers front office can’t waste any more time before making other moves. The February 6 trade deadline is right around the corner and the Lakers desperately need to round out their roster.

After Anthony Davis’ departure, the Lakers have a massive hole in the frontcourt. They need to trade for at least one quality center and find players who fit around Doncic and LeBron James.

These three moves below accomplish exactly that.

Walker Kessler

The Los Angeles Lakers still have their 2031 first-round pick to trade after saving it in the Luka Doncic deal. That is the juiciest asset Rob Pelinka has ahead of the deadline. An unprotected first-round pick can open a ton of doors for the Lakers in trade negotiations.

One of the players the Lakers need to prioritize in these negotiations is Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz.

The 23-year-old center is not only the perfect fit for the Luka Doncic & LeBron James-led Lakers, but he also fits the new Lakers’ timeline.

He is a good lob threat and rim finisher offensively while having the ability to anchor the defensive on the other end.

The Lakers can bring Kessler in using their first-round pick. Because Kessler is on such a team-friendly rookie deal, the Lakers don’t need to send any significant salary in the deal. Any of their minimum contracts like Christian Wood should be enough to seal the deal.

Robert Williams III

The Lakers ideally need to trade for two centers.

The only center on their current rotation is Jaxson Hayes, and he should ideally not play significant minutes on a team with playoff aspirations.

Luka Doncic is used to playing with rim-running centers who can be lob threats for him. In Dallas, he had an excellent partnership with Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively. The Lakers should try to emulate that with 48 minutes of solid center play.

Trading for Robert Williams III, along with Kessler, would give the Lakers that opportunity. When healthy, Williams is an excellent two-way center.

He can switch out on the perimeter and guard smaller players while defending the rim. Offensively, he is a good finisher around the basket, rebounds well, and has some passing chops.

The biggest question surrounding Williams is his health. He missed most of last season and has only played 17 games this season.

He can’t play too many minutes when he is available, either. In his limited playing time, however, he is still a very impactful player, especially defensively.

Availability concerns are exactly why the Lakers should be able to acquire the former Celtics man. He is a worthy flyer as a high-risk, high-reward candidate.

The Portland Trail Blazers are in a rebuilding mode and should be willing to part ways with Time Lord in exchange for Rui Hachimura and a second-round pick. It’s hard to imagine them doing better than that package, especially considering that he is under contract for one more season.

Caleb Martin & Eric Gordon

To round out the roster, the Lakers should add more wing depth, perimeter defense, and shooting. Targeting Caleb Martin and Eric Gordon from the Sixers would accomplish exactly that.

Luka Doncic is arguably the best perimeter shot creator in the league right now. He is a one-man offense. He will get himself or his team a good shot every time he has the ball in his hands.

His liabilities, similar to LeBron James at this stage of his career, come on the defensive side of the ball.

That is why the Lakers need to surround Luka and LeBron with players who can cover for them defensively. Three-and-D players are the exact prototype the Lakers need to prioritize.

Trust Luka and LeBron to carry you offensively and trust the rest of the team to make up for them defensively is a formula that has worked for both players throughout their careers.

With the limited resources remaining for the Lakers, Martin and Gordon are as good as any players they could realistically get.

The Sixers are nowhere near title contention this season and will be open to the idea of moving on from veterans for future assets.

Instead of paying Martin and Gordon for another season, they will presumably be open to taking a chance on rookie Dalton Knecht and the 25-year-old Jarred Vanderbilt.

The Lakers could add a pick swap to sweeten the deal for Philadelphia.

Martin would immediately fill the hole created by Hachimura’s departure from the previous deal.

He is a strong defender who can guard multiple positions and hit the three at a reasonable three. Gordon, at 36 years old, is not the elite three-and-D player he once was but is still a great shooter who would thrive with the looks he would get playing next to Doncic and LeBron.
