The Jazz Supermarket has been opened! The Lakers are aiming at the Jazz insider and plan to win 3 for 1!

Jazz Supermarket is open, and the Lakers are targeting the inside players 3 for 1. In the fierce competition in the NBA, every team is working tirelessly for the championship, and the trading market is the key battlefield for them to improve their strength. Recently, the Utah Jazz started the "supermarket mode", and all players of the team can trade. This heavy news instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the league, and all teams were ready to fight. Among them, the Los Angeles Lakers quickly locked in the target and planned to win the Jazz inside player Kessler with a 3-for-1 trading plan.

This season, the Lakers' regular season record is 50 wins and 31 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference. The combination of Doncic and James has given the team full of offensive firepower, and players such as Reeves have also performed well. However, the team's inside weaknesses were obvious. After Davis left the team, he was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs when facing a strong team. Kessler of the Jazz became the Lakers' favorite target. The 23-year-old young center has great potential and was selected by the Timberwolves in 2022 and traded to the Jazz. This season, he averaged 11.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 67%. Kessler scored stable at the basket, had top-notch frame protection, flexible defense replacement, and effectively limited the opponent's three-pointers. He is an inside player urgently needed by the Lakers.

It is reported that the Lakers proposed a 3-for-1 trading plan: give away Kneckett, a first-round pick and a first-round swap right, and get Kessler. As a rookie, Kneckett averaged 9.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in 19.1 minutes, with considerable shooting percentages in three events and highly optimistic potential. For the Jazz in the Rebuild, these chips are extremely attractive, and young players and draft picks will help the team rebuild in the future.

However, this transaction is still full of variables. Deal negotiations have always been complicated, and the two sides may have differences on player values ​​and draft pick conditions, and other teams may also join the competition. But no matter what, the Lakers' active attitude of seeking change is worthy of recognition, and fans are also looking forward to the successful completion of this deal and help the Lakers strive for the championship next season.
