Lakers Land Kessler in Major Trade | Los Angeles Lakers News

Despite missing most of last season due to injury, Kessler’s 2.4 blocks per game and rising star status make him exactly what LA needed: toughness, defense, and rebounding prowess.

Former Laker Horace Grant called it a perfect fit — finally giving the team the interior presence that was sorely missing. The future looks bright, and the hype is real.
