Did you watch the Finals? The team with exterior finesse & shooting got beat by a team that trotted out a huge lineup and dominated inside. Lakers bullied teams inside on their way to 2020 title, too.
That's a little disengenious. The Bucks played with 4 shooters on the floor at all times so they didn't lack spacing at all. The reason they dominated inside was not because they are bucking modern trends, they could do it because they had Giannis. Westbrook is not Giannis and his lack of shooting ability as a perimeter player creates challenges for building an offense around him.

Did they play with four shooters at all times though? Tucker averaged 31mpg in the Finals and he attempted one three a game. He is most certainly not a shooter. But what they did have that allowed them to play big was a three point shooting center who can also score inside and wasnt a liability on defense. Those type of guys are still VERY hard to come by even in this era.

If I was the Wizards I'd fleece the hell out of the Lakers.
LOL
Wiz would be the winners here.

PJ Tucker counts as a shooter because the Suns guarded him as if he was one. The point of having shooters is not necessarily for them to take a ton of shots, it's to space the floor. The Suns guarded Tucker even when he was just standing in the corner so he was doing his job as a floor spacer even without taking a shot.

When we had Danny Green and Rondo the Lakers won a title. And a defensive glass cleaner like Dwight.
Let’s get a shooter like Danny Green (statistically the best ever at corner 3s) and spread the floor. With AD, Bron and THT as the slashers

Which is a Suns coaching problem. The Nets looked like a competent even bordering on great defensive team because they conceded open looks to Tucker and Holiday to protect the paint. Even with Giannis putting up 40 and 50 point games, Monty Williams never once said "let's see if Tucker can hurt us from 3". Poor strategy

That doesn't answer the question. If they get bigs who are bad at spacing (which you suggested) their spacing will get worse. if you think spacing is important for Lebron the Lakers need to get bigs who are good at 3 pt shooting and jump shooting, NOT Dwight.
Seems like you have contradicted yourself and and don't know how to admit you are wrong.
If the Lakers really need shooting, then they should go after Marc Gasol.

Yes they need guard help. No they don't need Westbrook barrelling into the lane.
If the Wizards can do it and only overpay Schroeder on a two year deal, it's worth it. Kuzma may figure it out and THT is nowhere near the player the Lakers think he is, but a solid prospect.

What statistics show that Danny Green is the best ever at corner 3s?
