Jazz sells two stars, the Lakers opportunity is here! Team reporter shows 5-for-1 trading plan + 5 major middle-class goals

The Jazz sell two major stars, and the Lakers have an opportunity to strengthen the inside line! The team record quickly showed the 5-for-1 trading plan, and also listed the five major goals that the Lakers middle-class special case can pursue.

The Jazz sells two stars, according to Sarah Todd of the US media "Deseret News", the Jazz are actively seeking a deal to sell their immediate combat power in the lineup.

"The obvious targets are Clarkson, Collins and Sexton, whose contracts will all expire after the end of the 25-26 season. In addition to the three, there are also names worthy of attention, Kessler and Markkanen, whose contracts will also expire. If the Jazz cannot renew him, they will consider including it in the transaction discussion in exchange for a considerable return," Sarah Todd wrote.

The Lakers' chances are here

This is not the first time the Jazz sells Kessler. When the Jazz listened to their offer, the Lakers were one of the active suitors, but in the end the price was fruitless due to the excessive demand.

With Kessler being put on the shelves again this time, the Lakers naturally have another chance to compete for this high-quality inside player.

TA Lakers reporter Jovan Buha also talked about this topic on the show, saying that it is not surprising that the Jazz sell Kessler, and there is no real non-sale product in the NBA.

The Lakers had pursued Kessler before, but the Jazz's asking price was very high, resulting in the Lakers only getting the starting price, not the final price.

At that time, the Jazz's starting price was at least 2 first-round picks. The Lakers must have given the framework to pursue Ma Wei to the Jazz, but the Jazz refused.

Team scored 5 for 1 plan

In this case, Daniel Starkand, another team scorer of the Lakers, followed up and said that the trading plan for pursuing Mawei is obviously not enough to pursue Kessler, but the Lakers still need to call the Jazz and add the first round pick in 2027 to try it. Before the February trading deadline, the Lakers had won Mark Williams through a 4-for-1 trade, but eventually failed because Ma Wei failed his physical examination.

According to the team leader Daniel Starkand's idea, the Lakers need to add another first-round pick to get Kessler, that is, 5 for 1 to pursue Kessler. The specific plan is as follows:

Lakers get: Kessler;

Jazz get: Kneckett + Reddish + 27-year first-round pick + 31-year first-round swap + 30-year first-round swap.

If the Jazz are willing to accept such a trading plan, the Lakers have no reason to refuse, because Kessler is a more reliable inside choice than Marvel.

Kesler averaged 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 66.2%. He is an elite defensive insider and will immediately fill the gap in the Lakers' starting inside.

The most important thing is that he is only 25 years old, and his growth schedule is fully consistent with Doncic, the Lakers' future core, and he can enter the team plan for a long time.

Show another 5 middle-class goals

In addition to targeting Kessler in the starting lineup, Lakers' record Jovan Buha also gave the Lakers midfielder five ideal goals.

are Capela, Dalow and Adams respectively. According to the Lakers' current salary situation, the Lakers have a mini middle class of $5.7 million. If James cuts his salary by $15 million, the Lakers can use a full middle class of $14.1 million.

Jovan Buha believes that Capela is the best choice because his sports and cake eating ability are perfectly matched by Doncic and James.

Dalou's spatial attributes meet Redick's needs, but the pace is too slow and may become a shortcoming on the defensive end.

Adams is also a good choice, but according to TA reporter Sam Vecenie, the Rockets plan to keep him for 42-45 million New Testament in three years, and it is difficult for the Lakers to poach through the middle class special case.

If the Lakers' goal is not to strengthen the inside but the backcourt, the ideal goal for the full middle class is Bruce Brown, and the ideal goal for the mini middle class is Payton Jr.
