The Los Angeles Lakers want to trade for a former Boston Celtics center, but so does another team with more assets to offer.

The Los Angeles Lakers are fifth in the Western Conference, but if they go after a reported trade target, they could have more than enough size to tackle the Denver Nuggets.

If the Los Angeles Lakers aren't interested in adding a reliable point guard before the Feb. 6 trade deadline, they should at least pursue a viable low-post partner for Anthony Davis. Landing a former Boston Celtics center who carved out a respectable role with the franchise could help strengthen their frontcourt.

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be active at the trade deadline, but so are many of their rivals. What potential deals could actually sabotage their enemies?
