Lakers Eye Jazz's Walker Kessler for Potential Trade

As the NBA season begins, the Los Angeles Lakers are considering a trade to strengthen their frontcourt with Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler.

  • The Lakers have started the season strong but are exploring options to improve their roster depth, particularly at the center position.
  • Walker Kessler, a promising young center from the Utah Jazz, has attracted interest due to his defensive skills and potential to bolster the Lakers' lineup.
  • Kessler, currently under a rookie contract, averaged 8.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks last season, making him a valuable asset for any team seeking defensive prowess.
  • The Lakers face challenges in securing Kessler, as it may require trading significant draft assets, including future first-round picks.
  • While the Lakers are monitoring the trade market, they remain cautious and are not rushing into any immediate deals.
