The Los Angeles Lakers opted to not make any major moves in the offseason and bring a majority of their team back from last season. This was somewhat of a surprise as, at one point, it appeared to be almost an inevitability that guard D’Angelo Russell would be traded in favor of a more fitting complementary piece.
Several names have been tossed out as potential targets for L.A. via trade. Most of them have been wings, but there have been a handful of centers the Lakers reportedly feel would be worth parting with assets for. One of them is Utah Jazz big man Walker Kessler.
