What happened: Discussion has surfaced among Lakers supporters about whether the team should pursue Milwaukee center Kel'El Ware now that the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade has been finalized. The conversation centers on what kind of package would be required to pry the young center loose.

Why it matters: Milwaukee appears pointed toward a reset in the wake of the Giannis deal, a backdrop that could put a young, ascending center on the move. For a team chasing frontcourt depth, a developing big on a rookie-scale contract would be a logical target.

What to watch: Watch whether Milwaukee signals any willingness to move young rotation pieces and whether a contender formally engages on Ware as the offseason develops.
