If you train it, sell it, you are a good jazz guy!

The Lakers actually still have a desire to strengthen, and their desire is quite large. After all, they got Doncic last year's trade, which is a superstar with the chance to compete for the next first player in the league. The Lakers always think they can do something.

After getting James, when James's career is coming to an end, he will get the next team-building core and he will no longer have to experience any rebuilding pain.

Such a perfect situation is an idea that individuals will have.

However, the Lakers' recent idea was given by the Jazz. Before, he first traded the team's few Collins, who had a strong desire to win, to the Clippers, and now he has given the Lakers hope. The Jazz are really a good person!

According to Jazz reporter Tony Jones, the Jazz and Kessler cannot reach an agreement in the early renewal negotiations, and Kessler may become a restricted free agent next summer (as for the situation like Kumingga and Gidey this summer).

Kesler wanted to renew his contract in advance. After the window period this summer started, Kesler tried to negotiate with Jazz, and Jazz also gave a offer, but the two parties probably failed to reach an agreement on the contract amount.

Kesler was selected by the Timberwolves in the 22nd pick in the first round of 2022, and was then sent to the Jazz in the deal Gobert in July of the same year.

The 2022 draft will be renewed early this year...

However, there are not many players who have completed early renewal of this rookie. If I remember correctly, there are only 4 people:

Banchero 239 million in 5 years, up to 287 million in 5 years, up to 239 million in 5 years, up to 250 million in 5 years, Jabary Smith 122 million in 5 years, up to 239 million in 5 years, up to 287 million in 5 years, up to 267 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 287 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 280 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 289 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 287 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 289 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 289 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, up to 289 million in 5 years, up to 270 million in 5 years, seemingly this draft is not good. The Jazz failed to reach an early renewal with Kessler, probably because they were not very satisfied with the past few years and now they have the intention to rebuild, so they are not very eager to retain the original lineup. The inside starting duo gave up. I really don’t know what the Jazz’s idea is? Good guy cards must be issued to them.

Compared to self-cultivation, Jazz now seems to want to free up some salary space to take advantage of the free market in the summer of 2026. After all, there are big fish like Antetokounmpo and Teacher Yo in the free market. If you get one of them, you can return to the ranks of the championship in an instant.

Now, the Lakers' opportunity comes.

The Lakers have always been very interested in Kessler. Oh, no, I have said that the Lakers are very interested in some of the inside players that can be contacted in the market.

Before the trading deadline this year, the Lakers asked Kessler for the price, and so did this summer.

However, the Jazz generally prefers draft picks when it comes to trading. Just so happens, what the Lakers lack most is draft picks, so they have never been able to reach related deals with the Jazz.

If Kessler becomes a free agent next summer, the Lakers' chance will come.
