AROUND the NBA:

I can just about guarantee that Mark Walter will find them a center. He gave the Dodgers everything they needed.

Mark Walter doesn't change the facts of the Lakers' situation at all:
1. They desperately need a center.
2. They don't have significant assets to offer in trade.
3. As long and Luka and LeBron are chewing up 2/3 of their cap space, they can't sign two-way, core pieces.
4. All the owner dollars in the world don't change the limits of the CBA and cap.
