What's new

No Extension for Walker Kessler?

I think its more #1 but less like they are for sure going to trade him and more like... they just aren't sure about him.

I could buy #2 if there were FAs that made sense. Right now its like Trae Young and Austin Reaves at the top... not exactly super team type stuff.

My guess with how this plays out is Kessler is moved to the Lakers for a first and maybe a swap. OR we ended up painting ourselves into a corner and pay him 32M+ per year when we could have gotten him around 25-26Mish. Not the end of the world but still an unforced error.
Echoes my feelings.

With #2, the one thing that gives me pause is the math. With the second apron out in the wild, there's a unique window of opportunity while our (hopefully) future stars are on rookie deals. Both Ainges have shown themselves to be hyper aware of this and you see that San Antonio is attempting to navigate the same waters right now with Wemby on the cheap.

I do think it's wishful thinking though and Walker's days with the Jazz are numbered.
 
Signing Ayton may have made a Lakers-Kessler even more realistic lol.
And yet, the Lakers cut off negotiations with the Jazz and signed Ayton instead. Do we think the Lakers have learned anything? When they have cap space they dump the thought of Kessler and think about older stars that might be available. Kessler is like eating vegetables.
 
I'm absolutely shocked it isn't working.

Lakers are a **** show and Luka may have wished he stayed in shape to stay with a Dallas team built to his strengths if this continues.
I think Jeanie Buss and the Buss family are very happy they traded for Luka and added more value to the sale so probably no regrets at that level
