Walker Kessler, coveted by the Lakers
Walker Kessler could be nearing the end of his days as a player for Utah Jazz. The accumulation of injuries he has suffered and the presence of high-level interior players, especially after Jaren Jackson Jr's signing, means the reliable American center might depart this summer. The most likely destination for his signing is Los Angeles Lakers, in need of a solid rebounding center on both ends of the court. However, uncertainties arise due to the high salary he demands, having turned down a significant offer from the Salt Lake City team, which would require the Lakers to dig deep into their pockets to recruit him.
Either convince the Lakers or the Bulls to hold onto all their salary cap space until July 8th to give it to him (not ruled out with the Bulls), or Walker Kessler will soon find out how exciting the market is for a restricted free agent in this agreement.https://t.co/VgFGvD7fyg
