One NBA insider gave some bad news when it comes to the Lakers' report desire to trade for Jazz center Walker Kessler.

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

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.
