We’ve heard rumors before, but it’s clear that the Los Angeles Lakers are very interested in Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler. According to Anthony Irwin, the Lakers had talks last offseason and continue to have talks this season about Kessler.
From Irwin:
Lakers sources say they’ve held internal conversations about Robert Williams of the Portland Trail Blazers, Nick Richards of the Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn’s Day’Ron Sharpe and Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz.
Speaking of Kessler, sources say the Lakers and Jazz got fairly close to a deal over the summer, but talks this year have been pretty inconsistent.
