Lakers Utah Kessler trades etc ...

[Cappy_Smurf]

After Utah drafts Flagg, their Kessler/Flagg/Lauri front court is gonna wreak havoc on the league.

And count me in with those who think Kessler to the Lakers is officially dead with their acquisition of Luka. Ainge isn't giving him up for picks that are almost guaranteed to be late 1sts, and I don't even think it would matter if they were unprotected.

Reaves/Knecht for Sexton/Kessler
I think Jazz are owed something but not 31 1st..

Disagree, Add the 31 1st and you have a deal

Maybe I’m not as high on Kessler as everyone else, but I don’t think he’s that good of a fit as everyone thinks. Yeah he can block shots. But can he screen and roll to the rim for dunks? That’s what the Lakers need.

It's early morning now I'm much better surprisingly no hangover

He can do that, but Utah Isn't really using him as screen and roll guy, him on the Lakers would be used like that a lot though.

HIs just the perfect C on the Lakers.

Kessler, Turner, Poeltl

Day'Ron Sharpe, Capela, Ayton

Definitely not trading Reaves for Kessler. Sexton is unnecessary with Luka and another year of Lebron.

I think Lakers offer Knecht, unprotected 2027, 2031, pick-swaps and call it a day. Maybe rope in another team that values Knecht.

Ayrton may be available.

There is no path a trade makes sense. Unprotecting the 27 pick is of no value. The likelihood the Lakers are top 4 that draft is beyond slim. If we trade Kessler it’s to a team other than Lakers.

Kessler is getting better every year and no reason to trade him. They have no ammo left in the mag to get it done.

He's a year away from being extended, and his value largely is derived from the fact that he's dirt cheap for what he's providing.

The perfect center for Luka looks a lot like Lively and ironically Mark Williams, Mitchell Robinson, Gobert, younger Adams, rim runners, bigs who set good screens and defend etc... I don't think Turner is that prototype at all, he's more like KP and Luka didn't like KP's game.. that type of center fits better with guards like Ja/Fox in my opinion.

Kessler at 15-20 mill per year is still a very valuable player so we would still not trade him to the Lakers.
