The Athletic's Jovan Buha said in a Monday livestream (31:30 mark) that he's "heard nothing but" the Jazz wanting two first-round picks and a young player for Kessler. The Lakers have only one tradable first-round pick over the next seven years, and that selection can only come in 2031 or 2032, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Now, the Jazz are reportedly open to trading Kessler, arguably the centerpiece of the Gobert trade. Considering the Jazz won just 17 games last season, it makes sense that they’d be open to dealing anyone, for the right price.

To that end, there is a potential trade target to keep a close eye on. Dorian Finney-Smith left the Lakers to sign a four-year, $53 million contract with the Houston Rockets. Could the two teams work out some kind of a sign-and-trade that would send a player back to Los Angeles?
