There is now talk that the Lakers are scouring the trade market for a solution at the center position. They have been linked to Nick Richards of the Phoenix Suns, and according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, there are four other big men they're after.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been interested in Walker Kessler for a while now, but they cannot find a price that will satisfy the Utah Jazz. Last year, during the trade deadline, the Lakers were among the teams asking for Kessler.

The Lakers are actively searching the NBA trade market for viable center options, which had led them to Nick Richards, Yves Missi, and others.
