The Lakers are in desperate need of a center after the Luka Doncic trade as multiple names have been floated around the league.

Kristaps Porziņģis, who played alongside Dončić in Dallas for 2 1/2 seasons, sounded as surprised as anyone. Porziņģis said his phone wasn’t working, so he learned about the trade when someone told him about it on the streets of Philadelphia, where the Celtics were in town to meet the Philadelphia 76ers.

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving says he is in the “grieving process” after the shock news over the weekend that the team had traded Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers.
