Lakers should pounce on Moussa Cisse if Mavericks botch their roster crunch

Lake Show Life argues that the Los Angeles Lakers should target center Moussa Cisse if the Dallas Mavericks release him during their roster crunch. Reporting from The Stein Line indicates Dallas could potentially move on from Cisse to retain veteran Dwight Powell. The writer contends that Cisse would provide Los Angeles with a productive, cost-effective backup center option behind Walker Kessler.

Cisse averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per game across 38 appearances for Dallas last season. To add the 24-year-old big man, the writer notes that the Lakers would need to trim their current 16-man roster to make room, offering an athletic upgrade over current backup option Kevon Looney.
