Lakers Trade Price REVEALED for Walker Kessler & Andrew Wiggins! | NEW Report Gives Lakers Intel!

[Music] all right we got an official reported trade price for two heavily favored Laker trade targets those two being Walker Kesler the guy that Laker fans never quit talking about and the guy they wanted for literally about a year now at this point and then F Andrew Wiggins a newer Lakers straight target but definitely a pretty good one in my opinion and we got the reports from pretty reliable sources one of which being literally Sham Sha him confirming the price for Walker Kesler and then for Andrew Wiggins coming from a legitimate Miami Heat reporter that being Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald so I think we definitely can trust them and do have the ability to gain some pretty good insight with these reports so we’ll talk about them what the price of them is and if Lakers can actually get both them and if that might be their plan going forward but before we get too far into it I genuinely would appreciate it if you took a brief moment to drop a like subscribe to the channel if you have not already and hit that notification bell to never miss out when I upload a video and big shout out to you guys that already do that and without me having to mention it i genuinely do appreciate it but now getting back to our topic and starting with Walker Kesler according to Sham Sha the trade price for him will be quote unquote multiple first round draft picks and well we kind of already knew it but now it’s officially confirmed you know every time Rob Plink calls up and talks to Danny Yange the guy is asking for a pretty hefty trade price including not only Daltton Connect which I think is pretty much confirmed at this point but then their only tradeable first on draft pick their final tradable first on draft pick in 2031 and then to make up for the second round pick that they don’t have to offer like the two or three first draft pick swaps and or removing their protection on their 2027 draft pick they already owe Utah Jazz so in my opinion that’s what it would take to get him demanding though two first on draft picks and again something the Lakers currently don’t have to offer on top of that with Dolphin Connect or maybe if they expand the trade package and then ask for a guy like Ruy Hatchima I’m not entirely sure but he’s definitely asking for a big trade package and you know like I always say when talking about Walker Kesler we’re talking about a very talented young center a guy that’s only about to turn 24 in about a month here a guy that led the entire league in offensive rebounding last season grabbing 12.2 of total rebounds per game and over four and a half offensive rebounds per game again leading the entire league in offensive rebounds per game a guy that’s a great rim protector good shot blocker good defender in general and then on top of that is the lob thread or could be the lob threat that the Lakers are looking for but at the end of the day here even with that in mind is he worth that trade price literally the entirety of the Lakers trade asset pool apart from their expiring contracts would he be worth it that’s up for debate here but it’s officially confirmed that’s what it would take to get him you’re not going to get off Light simply from him having a one-year expiring contract keep in mind that if you would trade for him then you do have to pay him thereafter i mean if you want to retain him beyond this season anyways then you have to pay him and with Daniel Gaffford kind of setting the trade market you know the contract market for a center him getting roughly $18 million per year under a three-year contract going forward i’ve talked about this but I think Walker Kesler and his agent will point to that and say “Hey I’m younger than Daniel Gaffford on par with him and maybe even better than him so I definitely want more than what he got in that contract something like 25 to 30 million per season on top of what it would take to get him through a trade so again definitely looking like it would take a massive trade package to get him and then a pretty massive or close to a contract to then pay him and retain him thereafter and with that in mind here I unfortunately don’t think it would be worth it again I’d love to have him and I think he’d be a pretty damn good fit for their team both in the short term and the long-term future but I’m simply not sure it would be worth it unless Stan would miraculously drop his price or end up being bluffing about that price but actually moving on to better news here in a better trade price for a Lakers straight target that does happen to be able to Andrew Wiggins if you kept up with my content and follow the trade package that I thought it would take to get him it actually might be less than that which is obviously a good thing the trade package that I’ve often brought up has included Ruachimura with Gabe Mensant and then maybe a future first draft swap i think that’s what it would take to get him or I thought that’s what it would take to get him but it actually might not take that much according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald they’re simply looking for expiring contracts for him meaning that we might be able to offer something like Gabe Vincent Maxi Kleba no Rui Aimra then simply shake Milton in that future first round pick swap and potentially be able to get Andrew Wiggins and well that would be an absolutely no-brainer kind of trade in my opinion yes you’re giving up the Lakers entirety of their expiring contracts apart from Rui Hatimal here which would leave them unable to make a pretty big trade after this one but I really don’t think they need it between getting Andrew Wiggins then making a signing of a center in the open market or potentially making a trade for Walker Kesler as they could potentially do both here if Danny H again would actually take their trade package I think that would be enough for them getting Wiggins to this trade package getting both him retaining Rui Hachimura either to come off the bench or maybe trade him in a different trade apart from this one i think that’s a pretty good idea and I definitely would explore it and yes I am buying this report and the ideology of where it’s coming from trading Andrew Wiggins for simply expiring contracts might not seem like a great idea but if you realize where the Miami Heat currently are and the bad situation they’re in they kind of have to do it they’ve now failed to get Kevin Durant failed to get other big trade targets and trade away Jimmy Butler so they might be looking at a rebuild or definitely a soft reset this season simply don’t have an objective way to improve their team and put a definitive guy around both Tyler Hero and Bamabio that would take them up to contention so what they’re trying to do instead and this is actually with that report as well trying to free up cap space for the 2026 NBA offseason where better and more free agents will be available and they might have a better opportunity to improve their team then rather than simply trying to go allin right now for a signing or a trade that might not be worth it so getting off the Andrew Wiggins contract simply getting expiring or expiring contracts for him might be the best plan for them and that’s what they are thinking about doing here which in my opinion could be a great opportunity for the Lakers getting Andrew Wiggins inserting him into their starting lineup and definitely improving the fit of their starting lineup giving them that primary defensive option a guy that can literally defend one through four and switch one through four can be a third or fourth scoring option coming off an 18 point per game season is a good three-point shooter both a catch and shoot guy and even off the dribble as well and simply a great three and the plus player in general i think Andrew Wiggins could do a lot for their team and definitely improve the fit of their starting lineup so with that in mind here if I’m Rob I’m not wasting any time i’m calling up the Miami Heat calling up Pat Riley and confirming if that report’s true or not if they trade him for expiring contracts if he would be enough to simply trade them Gabe Vincent who they obviously have a good history with Maxi Kibba Shake Milton and then maybe a future for Dropics Swap or maybe two out of the absolute most here i’d definitely call him about that and confirm if that’s the trade price for Andy Wiggins which I’d obviously make that trade but with all of that being said what do you guys think how do you feel about the reported trade price for both Walker Kesler and Andrew Wiggins and what do you take if that does in fact turn out to be true either for Kesler and or Wiggins let me know your thoughts in the comments down below but I think that’ll pretty much do it for this one and if you enjoyed the video then I’ll greatly appreciate it if you dropped a like subscribe to the channel if you have not already and hit that notification bell to never miss out when I upload a video but as always thank you for watching and have a great day or night [Music]
