Kessler Anchors Lakers' New Era | Los Angeles News

The Lakers just pulled off a blockbuster trade to land Walker Kessler, a four-year, $130M anchor who’s poised to be the defensive cornerstone around Luka Doncic. With nine new faces joining the roster and LeBron and Smart gone, Doncic is stepping into a leadership role both on and off the court—even hosting a Slovenia mini-camp to unify the team. Kessler, who’s already familiar with some of his new teammates, is ready to give everything for the squad, especially when he believes in the mission. But with thin depth at center and too many players on the roster, the Lakers still need to trim down to 15. Kessler’s performance could be the difference between a deep playoff run and another early exit. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
