Los Angeles Lakers get:
-Walker Kessler
Utah Jazz get:
-Christian Wood
-Removal of top-4 protection on the Lakers’ 2027 first-rounder
-2029 first-rounderNote: The Lakers previously sent the 2027 first-rounder to Utah in the Russell Westbrook trade. It will only be conveyed if L.A. is in the 5-30 range; otherwise, it will send its 2027 second-rounder. If the Lakers win the lottery (Nos. 1-4), their second-rounder will go to the Nets. After the Kessler trade, the 2027 second-rounder would still go to the Nets or Jazz, with the adjustment removing protection in the first round.

Kessler is the RIGHT CENTER for the Lakers because of his elite rim protection, age, and rookie contract. Trading for him will cost draft capital but will also allow Lakers to keep key rotation players like Vincent, Vanderbilt, and Christie, who would have to be part of a trade for a center earning $20M.

Thanks, Dean. Excellent interview of Eric Pincus regarding potential Lakers trades for Walker Kessler and Nick Richards. Sees Kessler as possible starter for 1 first and remove 2027 protection and Richards as strictly a backup for a pair of seconds. https://t.co/elLVo292do

During Thursday’s edition of “Inside the NBA,” Barkley referenced recent comments Reddick made about national media criticizing the game and how that’s affected rankings.
Barkley pointed the finger back at Reddick. The Hall of Famer said that the media aren’t the ones with an underachieving team that’s shooting too many 3-pointers.
“He said something about, ‘We’re the reason people ain’t watching this crappy product we got.’ Yeah, us, like we’re up there jacking up 100 3’s a night,” Barkley said.
“J.J., you come for the king, you best not miss,” he continued. “I can get you brother. I got your Lakers games. You can’t hide them flaws they got. You’re just a dead man walking.”
The Lakers currently sit sixth in the Western Conference standings with a record of 19-14. However — perhaps due to the presence of LeBron James and perpetually high expectations in L.A. — Reddick has been criticized for his performance in his first season as a head coach.
Last month, Reddick called out the media for not doing a good job of “storytelling” or celebrating that game, suggesting that it drives fans away from watching.
“If I’m a casual fan and you tell me every time I turn on the television that the product sucks. Well, I’m not gonna watch the product,” Reddick said. “That’s really what has happened over the last 10-15 years. I don’t know why.”
The Lakers coach said that analysts and media shouldn’t hold back from critiquing the game. However, he argued that the only people who are celebrating it as well “have a small niche following on Twitter.”

JJ Redick on LeBron: "I like when he's a willing 3-point shooter. … We want him aggressive, shot ready from 3."

Max Christie since being made a starter (10 games):

▫️ 44.4% on 4.5 3PA/G
▫️ 51.5 2P%, 93.1 FT%, 66.7 TS%If this leap is real, it changes a lot for the Lakers, who have gone 7-3, despite LeBron and Davis only playing together in 5 games. pic.twitter.com/B1yajwZAaP
