Lakers trade for Walker Kessler will keep looking better if Luka Doncic is right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Los Angeles Lakers paid a hefty price to land Walker Kessler, but the deal turns into a bargain if the 25-year-old keeps improving. They gave up two first-round draft picks and two first-round swaps in a sign-and-trade with the Utah Jazz. Kessler also landed a four-year, $129.4 million contract. It looked like an overpay, but not if he turns into an elite center. Luka Doncic made it clear that Kessler keeps improving when asked about LA's new big man on Media Day. “Obviously, you know, I pla

1 Reason Walker Kessler and every other newcomer will thrive on the Lakers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Los Angeles Lakers underwent significant changes this offseason to retool their roster around Luka Doncic.
