He averaged 9.7 points and 8.0 rebounds per game last season for the Hornets and can block shots with his 7-foot-4 wingspan. Richards is really effective around the rim, too, posting an elite 69.1 field goal percentage in 2023-24.<\/p>\n<p>With Richards under contract for just $5 million this season and $5 million next season, the Lakers may have something to work. With Jaxson Hayes having his limitations at center and Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood both sidelined with injuries to start the new season, the need at the five for the Lakers is pressing. Richards should also come much cheaper than\u00a0this other center the Lakers are eyeing in that division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0may be going bargain-hunting on the trade market.
