The massive piece of business (metaphorically and literally) was the agreement to acquire Utah center Walker Kessler, all 7'2\", 245 lbs. of him, for a huge price. Two unprotected first round picks, two pick swaps. Otherwise known as basically everything they had that Utah would want. But the Lakers got their man. He's 25 years old, has produced incredibly positive defensive numbers, and should be a good partner for Luka in the screen and roll, and as a finisher above the rim. Was the price too high? Maybe. Is Kessler currently worth that premium? Probably not yet. Could he get there? He'd better! And after that, the rest of the dominos fell. Long term deals for SG (and sometimes SF) Quentin Grimes and PF/C Sandro Mamukelashvili, along with scoring guard Collin Sexton. The Lakers might be able to make some tweaks going forward, but the roster seems mostly formed. So are they in a better spot now than a week ago?
