The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly found it difficult to make progress on the trade market due to significant changes to the NBA collective

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to several centers on the NBA trade market, but one stands above the rest as an ideal target.

The Los Angeles Lakers are still trying to find a way to get better, and the main constant has been wanting to get another center.

Led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers have one of the best duos in basketball. In year 22, James is averaging 23.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.9 assists. Near the top of the NBA's scoring ladder, Davis is averaging 31.2 points and 10.4 rebounds through nine contests.

The Lakers and Jazz simply don't match well with one another as trade partners despite the former's interest in Walker Kessler.

According to Jake Fischer, Russell could be a player on the move via trade as the Lakers are "eyeing" two big men targets. Fischer reports that Russell will be used as an "outgoing" salary as the club has both Brook Lopez and Jonas Valanciunas listed on their "internal board" of targets.

A pair of teams reportedly showed trade interest in Los Angeles Lakers second-year point guard Jalen Hood-Schifino.

According to Jake Fischer, there are two centers the Lakers are targeting via trade, and they're looking to use one of their players as bait.

According to veteran NBA writer Marc Stein, the Lakers front office is already exploring ways to improve the roster.
