Rob Pelinka made it clear the Lakers wanted to make at least one more addition – preferably another big man – before training camp begins.
They locked in one of their main targets tonight.

Christian Wood was a huge Lakers/Kobe fan growing up. Chatted with him about it for this 2021 piece on Kobe’s enduring legacy:

Christian Wood didn’t end up cracking the list tonight, but we still had a good time!
Also, riffed about Zeke Nnaji for a bit, a suddenly very important Nuggets bench player.

The Lakers will be Christian Wood’s eighth NBA team. He’s still just 27 years old. That has to be some sort of record – 11:29 PM

Lakers, Christian Wood reportedly agree to two-year, veteran-minimum contract that makes sense for both sides

Over the last 6+ months, the Lakers added:
D’Angelo Russell
Jarred Vanderbilt
Rui Hachimura
Jalen Hood-Schifino
Gabe Vincent
Taurean Prince
Cam Reddish
Jaxson Hayes
Christian Wood
The only rotation player LA gave up was Russ Westbrook and LA traded away just 1 first-round pick – 11:25 PM

The Lakers have had recent success signing veterans to minimum deals (Malik Monk and Dennis Schröder) that led to better contracts elsewhere.
Now Christian Wood gets that same opportunity in Hollywood … while the Lakers land a free agent whom they’ve coveted all summer. – 11:23 PM

My favorite part of the Christian Wood signing is that it probably means the end of LeBron James, small-ball center.
Those lineups just asked way too much of him on both ends of the floor. Between Wood and Hayes, the Lakers should always have a usable big even when AD is hurt. – 11:03 PM

Dru: “Christian Wood, from my understanding, is interested in a potential role in Miami—depending on what players are involved in that [Dame] trade. If they add Nurkić I think that frontcourt is set. If they don’t & get rid of Jović, can Wood come in & outplay Love & Bryant” @jovanbuha -via Twitter / August 12, 2023
