The Los Angeles Lakers have a glaring hole at center and an obvious affinity for Utah Jazz big man Walker Kessler.

The Los Angeles Lakers are on the hunt for a center this offseason, and Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler is at the top of the list.

The Lakers, however, don’t have many of either of those. On the contract front, they only have Dalton Knecht, who is a good young prospect, but is not as valuable to the Jazz as Kessler is. The Lakers also only have one tradable first round pick to put into a deal, making it harder to throw in the type draft capital to sweeten the offer.
