The Los Angeles Lakers remain in need of a big man since the injury to center Andrew Bynum. However, the Los Angeles Times reported the team is closer to a deal with DJ Mbenga than Chris Webber.
DJ Mbenga, a 7-footer who was cut last week by Golden State. Mbenga, who attended Thursday's game, averaged 1.2 points and 1.9 rebounds for the Warriors in 16 games.
Webber's agent, Aaron Goodwin said. "The Lakers know of his interest, but we won't push to make it happen." Denver, Miami and Detroit are also believed to be interested in Webber, who could decide which team to join this weekend.
