Mark my wordsβ¦laker fans will HATE kessler in about 6 months. Heβs a solid player yes. But this is just gonna become another Ayton situation where he just underperforms due to minimal touches.

LA Adding another useless piece and dismantle again next season. Kessler 4yr 130million vs Mitchell Robinson 3yr 48million is wild π π π π π π

2028 and 2030 swaps are NOT going to materialize. The Lakers will be ahead of the Jazz in the standings in BOTH years.
This is just two firsts. That’s it.

Stats on a terrible Utah team are meaningless, I hope this works, highly unlikely. Knicks losing Robinson? NY without Mitchell does not win a series

Lebron should, have stayed for the vet minimum. Better chance now. But they should have kept smart.

Laker picks just are not good picks, they are almost never high, 2033 possibly but the Lakers never are a rebuilding team…..so those picks are probably gonna amount to players that are not Kessler Walker

I’d take Kessler and pay 32.5 a year than paying Hartenstein 25-28M/year just to get 5 pts/5-10 rebs with no real outside threat

Defense is gonna suck. Rob better start hiring from further end of the color palette cause prime Andrei Kirilenko ain’t walking through those doors. π

2:03 I’m pretty sure I seen Queta hit one 3pt shot last year! Celtics gonna have Mitchell hitting 3’s at a 40% rate by Xmas π€¨

11 pts per game. Now if he can secure the boards and defend, maybe they’ll be cool.
