The Lakers have glaring needs, including another big and secondary playmaker. Here's who they should go after before the Feb. 6 deadline.

Kessler is a name that has come up quite often in trade rumors involving the Lakers. In fact, some feel an ideal trade scenario would be one where the team would land both him and guard Collin Sexton from the Utah Jazz in order to also address its need for a ball-handling guard who can score and create pace.

Time is running out for the Lakers to upgrade their roster and add another serviceable big man ahead of the NBA's Feb. 6 trade deadline.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked with a string of big men in recent weeks. Additional depth at the center position is a genuine area of need. Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes are yet to show they’re reliable options for a potentially deep playoff run.
