Unfortunately, this was the question that kept me up last night. I don’t think the Maluach possibility is likely, but it’s not impossible given that we were an Edey team last year. I could see us trading Kessler if Maluach is our guy. We don’t even need to take Maluach if we trade Kessler. A team may break the bank for him.

Everyone knows the Lakers are down bad for Kessler, but they just don’t have the assets. Another team that could be interested: GSW. If you could get two post Curry picks from them, would you do it?

If AA wants to reset I would likely do that over giving Kessler a $150+ mil extension. Resetting the timeline might be the best option after the last two drafts tbh.

I think it's worth remembering that Edey being an option for us probably had a bit to do with the disappointing season Kessler had last year. I think this year he returned back to the path of development we expected from him after his rookie season so maybe the Jazz brass are back on board the Kessler train... who knows?

Surely Kessler is in better standing now versus then, but I don’t think he’s untouchable. He has a lot of value simply for being a starter level player on a cheap one year deal, so it wouldn’t surprise me a team really wants him and comes with a great offer. LAL would if they could….I think GSW could be a team that pulls the trigger. He’s about the best they can do to try to win around Steph.

They wanted Edey because he was BPA and a physical outlier.
 
Keyonte + 21 to the Bulls for 12

The Lakers do have the assets though.

For Kessler? Only if they put up Reaves which they won’t.

Don’t think the Bulls have any use for Key.

I don’t know why it combined those two lol. I was typing that out yesterday.

For Kessler they absolutely do. Turn our 2027 protected first into a pick swap.

2026/2031 firsts plus 2028/2030/2032 pick swaps plus Dalton Knecht.
