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 Athletic's Jovan Buha said in a Monday livestream (31:30 mark) that he's "heard nothing but" the Jazz wanting two first-round picks and a young player for Kessler. The Lakers have only one tradable first-round pick over the next seven years, and that selection can only come in 2031 or 2032, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

The price tag remains extremely high for top Los Angeles Lakers trade target, Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler.
