Walker Kessler is going from the Jazz to the Lakers, will get a 4-year deal, AP source says
Walker Kessler is being traded by the Utah Jazz to the Los Angeles Lakers, who will have the center under contract for the next four seasons and for a total of about 130 million, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Wednesday. The Jazz are getting two first-round draft picks and two first-round pick swaps out of the deal, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move is a sign-and-trade and has yet to receive the needed league approvals. Acquiring Kessler is the first big move for the Lakers in their post-LeBron James era, after the NBA's all-time leading scorer said Tuesday that he was leaving the team and would spend this coming season elsewhere.
