Buha: Kessler is not available for both first rounds, and the Lakers believe this deal cannot be reached

As we all know, the Lakers' recruitment work this summer has not progressed smoothly. In addition to the fact that Pelinka's lack of business capabilities, there are many other reasons for the Lakers' failure in the center market, such as being asked by the Jazz for a high price. On July 3, according to NBA reporter Jovan Buha, the Jazz management's current asking price for Kessler has become two first-round picks, plus a young player with training value.

In this regard, the Lakers management generally believes that this deal cannot be reached at all. The reason is very simple. The team cannot give up a large amount of draft resources in order to get a blue-collar center. What's more, no one knows how big the "appetite" of the old fox Anji is now. If the Lakers are talking and discovering that Anji wants to raise the price again, by that time, the Lakers are likely to be in a dilemma.

According to statistics, Kessler played 58 times this season for the Jazz, and averaged 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 66.3%.
