Tuesday, we talked a lot about the possibility—remote as it may be—that the Lakers could acquire Utah's Walker Kessler. It's a long shot first because there's no indication that while the Jazz might be willing to listen to offers for their young big, that they are actually interested in trading him. Second, the Lakers would struggle to put a package together that would appeal to Utah (without overpaying, at least). 

So what about other options? 

In Milwaukee, the perception is that Brook Lopez (former Laker) could be on the market, sooner rather than later. Still a good shot blocker, can definitely stretch the floor... but Lopez has never been a great rebounder and let's just say isn't the high flying rim runner Luka reportedly favors. Steven Adams? Again, fills some needs (rebounding, toughness, defense) without addressing many others. What about Atlanta vet Clint Capela, who is believed to be on the move this summer? 

He's a guy who seems to come as close as anyone will to ticking multiple boxes for LA... but will his market be higher than a taxpayer mid-level? Because that's all the Lakers can offer. 

Finally, we open the mailbag to talk about LeBron and maintenance.
