The Lakers embraced Ren.

"ESPN" reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that the Los Angeles Lakers recruited Alex Ren as an FA.

The Lakers recently let go of Anthony Davis in the process of recruiting Luka Doncic. The recruitment of Doncic was a major reinforcement, but Davis' absence created a clear gap inside. 스포츠토토

The Lakers, who were busy trying to fill the gap, embraced Mark Williams in a trade with Charlotte. However, there was a change. Williams, who was supposed to be the starting center, failed to pass the medical test, and the trade was canceled.

Immediately, the Lakers suffered a severe blow to their plans for the season. They planned to continue the Winnow line, but now they are forced to play without a quality center.

The team put out the urgent fire for now. The Lakers, whose foot was on fire, successfully recruited Ren, who had received a lot of attention in the FA market.

Ren is the fifth-ranked big man in the 2013 draft, and although he did not meet expectations at the time, he has been playing for 12 years in the NBA. However, he did not receive many opportunities in Sacramento for the past three years, and recently moved to the FA market after triangular trade between Washington, Sacramento and Memphis.

His 213-centimeter-tall talent is expected to help him strengthen his height to some extent. Ren has played in 680 games and averaged 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds for 17.1 minutes in the NBA. He is expected to play the backup role to support Jackson Haze.

According to ESPN, Len was originally scheduled to sign with Indiana, but changed his mind after the Lakers canceled Mark Williams trade and decided to go to the Lakers. The Lakers released Christian Wood to bring him in.
