Demarcus Cousins is out with a torn ACL and the Lakers will be taking their time to fill the big hole.

ESPN has reported that Los Angeles is considering several veteran centers, including Dwight Howard, Joakim Noah and Marreese Speights and the Lakers will hold individual workouts and interviews with each player.

Howard, who is under contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, has permission to communicate with the Lakers.
