Kessler is available in the Jazz trading market, and the Lakers quickly upgrade the inside line

According to US sports media F/W reporter Sidante Gupta. The Utah Jazz may offer their young center Kessler in trade negotiations. With the Lakers interested, let's take a look at a potential trading plan to help the Purple and Gold Army win the Jazz big man.

The Los Angeles Lakers' first priority to enter the offseason is to add a big man. After facing serious problems with frontcourt depth last season, the Purple and Gold Army specifically stated their intention to buy the center and partner with their superstar Doncic. Finding qualified centers leads the team to connect with several players. From free agents like Sharp to potential trading targets like Clarkston, the Lakers may see any of these players going to make a difference in the team’s strength. However, the Lakers may have a chance to get their ideal big man goal. There are reports that the Utah Jazz tend to offer their center Kessler in trade negotiations, and the Purple Gold Corps may seek to acquire him. Sarah Todd of

Deseret News said the Jazz are willing to hear all the offers about their 2025 draft picks, as well as the active players on the roster, to become very active in the coming weeks. Given that their contract is about to expire, many players, such as Sexton, Collins and Clarkson, have been viewed as the most likely trade candidates. However, Kessler and even Maca are expected to appear in the discussion. With that in mind, let's take a look at a potential trade plan to help the Lakers sign Jazz big men.

Lakers get: Kessler

Jazz get: Hachimura, Kneckett, 2031 first-round draft picks deals of this nature may be huge for the Lakers. Kessler has shown a huge upside, and at the age of 23 he fits in the timetable for becoming Luca Doncic’s ideal future running mate. Kessler averaged 11.1 points and 12.2 rebounds last season, shooting averaged 66.3%. While he isn't the most dominant offensive force in the league, the Jazz big man is a veritable rim guard who averaged 2.4 blocks per game last season. As a 7-foot tall, he also has a strong and strong body shape, and his athletic ability is quite impressive, with mobility up and down movements while still being an effective high-ball threat.

If the Lakers get Jazz big men in the offseason, that could be huge for their roster integrity. Utah has team options for him this season. If they choose to refuse and make a signing deal, the Jazz may also get more value from him rather than letting him leave as a free agent.

In this trade, Utah will receive Hachimura Shizuki and Kneckett, as well as the Lakers’ 2031 first-round draft pick. Hachimura is a solid addition. He averaged 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, providing efficient scoring, outside shooting and defensive presence. And his contract expires next season, which will make the Jazz consider getting more talent next season. Kneckett's arrival will be a welcome sight in Utah. The young sharpshooter has attracted a lot of interest because of his offensive ability. After a pretty good rookie season, he averaged 9.1 points per game with 46.1% shooting percentage and 37.6% of 3-point shooting percentage, showing a lot of room for improvement.

And the 2031 first-round pick will only increase Utah's overall draft capital. While they have not used these to make any major moves, the Jazz may do something big in due time. This transaction is beneficial to both parties, what do you think?
