The Lakers have once again started to pay attention to multiple parties during the offseason, and Kessler s chips are not enough to bear the Lakers

The teams that were eliminated in the offseason are trying their best to strengthen or consolidate the lineup, while the Lakers have trade rumors every season, and this season is no exception.

The Lakers pulled back a game in the first round of the playoffs this season, but the subsequent games exposed their weaknesses. After the Davis was traded to the Mavericks, the Lakers' inside line has become one of the biggest shortcomings. After the trade with Mawei was stopped, they have few choices in the market at present. When the Lakers' big players came on the field, they lacked the space they needed for Doncic and LeBron. Hayes averaged 19.5 minutes in the regular season, and in the playoffs, his playing time dropped sharply, with only 7.8 minutes, and his score also reduced from 6.8 points in the regular season to only 1.8 points.

So when the offseason came, various media outlets were mocking trades for the Lakers and providing advice.

Recently, when discussing the possibility of Jazz center Kessler joining the Lakers in the show, Kessler's ability can match the Lakers, but facing Anji, the Lakers have no chance of winning.

He said: When it comes to Kessler and Utah Jazz, the problem is that they always offer very high prices and must spend a lot of bargaining chips. Just talk about last season, the Lakers are quite interested in Kessler.

Kesler is tradeable, but the introduction is expensive. The Lakers had contacted the Jazz last season, and the opponent's initial asking price was two first-round draft picks.

It is reported that the Jazz is indeed willing to listen to the offer, but will only start the transaction if it meets its high expectations.

Kesler's possibility of leaving the team exists, especially if a team provides "unrejectable" chips, and this "unrejectable" chip may make the Lakers come back in vain.

Kessler was selected by the Jazz in the 22nd pick in the first round of 22 years. His four-year contract salary is 13.37 million and his next season's salary is 4.88 million US dollars. This season, Kessler averaged 30 minutes per game and scored 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

At the same time, the Lakers were also exposed, and they were also interested in Nets' Clarkston, Rockets' Adams, and Mavericks' Gafford.
