## Resource

Walker Kessler is headed to LA — the Utah Jazz are trading the big man, who missed most of last season with a shoulder injury, to the Lakers for a massive package of future first-round picks. The Lakers, expecting Deandre Ayton back at center, are betting big on Kessler’s elite defense and rebounding, especially after he averaged 14.4 points and over 10 rebounds before his injury. Kessler, a restricted free agent, will sign a four-year, $130M deal with LA and then be flipped — a move that signals the Lakers’ serious push to reload at the rim.
