The Los Angeles Lakers could be looking into a Milwaukee Bucks big guy.
No, not Giannis Antetokounmpo.
NBA writer Gery Woelfel wrote recently on X, "I'm sure the Lakers have already talked to him," in regards to Bucks unrestricted free agent center Brook Lopez.
Lopez, 37, has already spent one year of his NBA career with the Lakers. Could he go back for more?
L.A. certainly could use more size. The Lakers got unlucky midseason with a failed Mark Williams physical after a trade had been agreed to for the Hornets center.

Lopez remains a solid rim protector, and in the second half of his career, he's developed into a fantastic floor spacer.
The 7-footer proved while playing with Giannis how he can exist alongside a downhill driving superstar.
Given the way LeBron James and Luka Doncic are able to create for others, the fact that Lopez is a 37 percent 3-point shooter over the past three seasons is a great feature.
Lopez averaged 13 points per game overall in the 2024-25 season.
The Bucks probably can't afford to keep him, so maybe he'll head west.
