Episode Notes
On today's 21st episode of the Center of Attention, Alex Golden looks at the Los Angeles Lakers to discuss the centers they have on their roster: Deandre Ayton, Jaxson Hayes and Maxi Kleber.
Could the Pacers dip their toes in the pool once again for Ayton? Would trading for Ayton or waiting till he hits FA make sense for this group? What about Jaxson Hayes? Could the former 8th overall pick be in play for the Pacers? Lastly...a former player of Rick Carlisle's, Maxi Kleber, is on an expiring $11M contract...could the Pacers have interest in trading a young player to get an expiring contract if an asset is attached? Alex discusses it all.
Now at the end of each discussion, the guys give each team and their center depth a letter grade. A being the best, F being the worst.
We hope you enjoy this miniseries! Tomorrow, we discuss the Golden State Warriors! NEW episode out on January 22nd!
