The pleasant surprise of the season's start for the Los Angeles Lakers has sparked NBA rumors regarding potential signings to strengthen the roster. While the focus seemed to be on the point guard position, having a reliable backup center who can complement and give Davis some rest is also a key aspect for JJ Redick. The chosen one is Walker Kessler.

Although the progress of the Jazz center seems to have slowed down, it is evident that the solidity he can bring in rebounding and paint defense is crucial for a team with high aspirations. His season's beginning has been inconsistent, but when he's on, he appears to be a tough man to move in the paint. With Anthony Davis delivering magic, JJ Redick aims not to overuse the Brow during the regular season, thus desiring a reliable center to help manage AD's efforts.

Therefore, various NBA rumors have emerged concerning the possibility of Walker Kessler taking a sharp turn in his career, signing with the Los Angeles Lakers at 23. The lack of competitive ambitions at the Utah Jazz could pave the way for a potential trade involving Draft picks, young players, and either Russell or Hachimura, putting together a package deal that might convince Salt Lake City.
