The Lakers centers choose one of four? Are the Rockets and Jazz planning a three-party deal?

The Lakers' playoffs ended quickly, and the Timberwolves used only one blue-collar inside player Gobert to beat the entire inside of the Lakers. Mark Williams is probably still laughing. If General Manager Pelinka does not regret his deal, the Lakers would not have fallen into such a land. But Pelinka is stubborn. In an interview, he emphasized that Ma Wei's injury is a big hidden danger and that the Lakers management will not take risks. This offseason, Pelinka has plenty of time to choose a starting center. Adams of the Rockets, Lopez of the Bucks, and Pelinka of the Hawks all only need a $10 million middle-class contract to get it done. But the Lakers' goal is to win the championship, and Pelinka hopes to find an inside line that will help him realize his dream. The Jazz's Kessler is one of the players he is interested in.

Recently, US media reporter Jack Fisher suggested that senior executives of the Lakers, Rockets and Jazz teams will negotiate on a three-party trading offer during the offseason this summer. If the negotiations go smoothly, third-year center Kessler is expected to land in Los Angeles, and Whitmore will be sent to Salt Lake City as a bargaining chip. The specific trading plan is: 1. The Lakers send Dalton Kneckett+ The Lakers' first round pick in 2031 + the Lakers' first round pick swap rights in 2030 + the Lakers' first round pick in 2027 (the 1-4 pick protection becomes unprotected) got Walker Kessler; 2. The Rockets sent Cameron Whitmore to get Dalton Kneckett; 3. The Jazz sent Walker Kessler to get Cameron Whitmore + 1 future first round pick swap rights + 1 first round pick swap rights + 1 protected Lakers' first round pick turned unprotected.

Kesler is 23 years old, 2.13 meters tall, 2.24 meters in wingspan, and weighs 113 kilograms. He plays as a center on the field. He averages 30 minutes per game this season and can score double-double data of 11.1 points and 12.2 rebounds. He can contribute 2.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 66.2%. In the past three seasons, Kessler has shown the defensive strength that a top blue-collar center should have. The franchise protection and rebounding ability are at the top level in the league, with a large defensive coverage, and an outstanding insider "eating" skills on the offensive end. There is no doubt that Kessler is an upgraded version of Mark Williams, his body is stronger and his health is more reassuring, so Lakers general manager Pelinka is more willing to see the final conclusion of the deal. The goal of the Rockets management is Knector, who has good shooting ability. He is a systemic player who does not occupy the ball and is accustomed to finding opportunities to score easily through team cooperation. This is a quality that Whitmore has never had. As an older rookie, Knector's playing style has basically taken shape, his potential has been fully developed, and his room for improvement is limited. The Rockets already have a group of talented young players. Kneckett only needs to use his own advantages to help the Rockets improve their overall strength. Whitmore has attractive athletic talent. If you can get enough exercise opportunities, your future development will be limitless. This is why Jazz General Manager Angie is more willing to get the White Demon. The Jazz's reconstruction work is not going well because the lottery luck is too bad, Will Hardy's team can never find a cornerstone player for reconstruction, and young players generally lack talent. Whitmore's joining will change this situation, at least he can significantly improve the Jazz's playing and viewing.
