Comment on Lakers Trade for Walker Kessler

Kessler’s $130M deal includes a player option in the fourth season, plus a full trade kicker
Feel like this is an asset overpay for Kessler especially with that contract structure.

If you have Luka and Reaves as your backcourt you need a great rim defender. Did the Lakers overpay, yeah probably. But, I just spent all season riding the Deandre Ayton rollercoaster and I’m ready to get off lol

Yeah the fit is good and I looked at the available centers after commenting and realized there’s not many options available that are a good fit so it’s a bit more understandable.
Really all in on this core with the PO and trade kicker though.

I really haven’t watched him play much honestly. He was injured basically all of last season, the season before that he averaged 12.5reb 2.4blk, if we get numbers like that from a 25 y/o center then its worth it. Dudes basically Rudy but he can catch a basketball at that point lol
