If the Los Angeles Lakers try to add another big man, they might waive Cam Reddish or Shake Milton.
The Los Angeles Lakers have finally found a new center by signing Alex Len, but to make room for him, they had to waive the injured Christian Wood.
According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Wood may not be the only player leaving the LA Lakers.
With Len considered a less reliable option at the center position -- more of a third-string player -- the Lakers could be exploring the possibility of adding another big man, such as Kelly Olynyk, Larry Nance Jr., or Chris Boucher.

Utah JazzTo acquire another player, the Lakers would need to waive one more player, as they can only make two waivers at this stage of the season. Buha noted that Cam Reddish and Shake Milton are both at risk.
"I think it's between Cam and Shake," Buha said in his recent podcast episode. "I would probably lean a little bit more toward Cam being the guy because Shake actually has two more years left [on his contract].
"They're both non-guaranteed, but that could make Shake an interesting trade piece in the offseason as a minimum guy," Buha added.
"I would probably lean toward Cam a little bit more. Like 55 to 45, or 60 to 40 more toward Cam being the one that gets waived, but I think it's close. I don't really think it's a mistake in either direction."
This season, Reddish has averaged 3.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, while Milton has posted 6.0 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.
