Another big-time NBA trade has hit the wire. This time, it’s the Lakers and Jazz involved.
On Wednesday amid another wave of free agency signings, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Los Angeles was acquiring center Walker Kessler from Utah in exchange for two unprotected first round picks in 2031 and ‘33, as well as two pick swaps in ‘28 and ‘30. Once the trade is official the Lakers will sign Kessler to a four-year deal worth $130 million, which comes out to a hair over $32 million annually.
