LATEST RUMORS – Kessler to Lakers? Nurkic gone? Trade coming?
The Utah Jazz are still figuring out the Walker Kessler situation and need to find out how to get Kessler signed sooner than later cause he may be joining the Lakers if they’re not careful. The Lakers can give Kessler an offer that could really throw a wrench in things.

😅🎉😢 the life of a fan!
Great lunch time video. Thanks!!
The max another team can sign Kessler for is 4 years at 178. That is 44.5 million a year. If that is what he gets you have to try a sign and trade or let him walk. Kessler is not worth over 30, let alone 40.
Lakers aren’t offering WK a 50 million dollar contract.
I always look forward to your show. Even if there is not much going on and it’s short you bring an excitement and enthusiasm that is just great for us Jazz fans! Thanks!
Would love to sign Kessler on a 5 year contract. But not suicidal to the future of the team!!
"Hello, my name is Bruce."
lakers could pay walker more money, but because of the taxes in california he'd make less money on a bigger contract there.
My man there is absolutely no way the lakers are trying to sign Walker to a 50 mil the dude isn't even close to a max offer player when he hasn't even been a top 30 player. The Jazz will either land Walker around the 30-35 mil or they will do a sign and trade with the interested party
I dont know why 2 years would be that bad. If kessler does great, trade him for max value after one year. If he does poor, then its only two more years instead of 3. Its not great but not horrible
Okay don't buy into the hype because Walker Kessler isn't getting more than he's already been offered everyone knows it except for his delusional team because even if let's say LeBron James wanted a new Max contract to go to the Warriors guess what they have to do is sign in trade some kind so all these scenarios are just pointless
If Kessler really wanted to stay with Utah he would’ve signed that contract.
Jazz would be dumb to pay walker 30 million a year.
Even if the lakers gave Walker 40 mil he’d probably get less money than the offer we gave him because of California taxes lol
Ihart just signed for 25mil. I think that Utah will settle with Kessler for 30 give or take. They will not match a 50mil offer nor will anyone give it to Walker.
Jazz fans, forgetting about the length of the contract, what's your top price per season for Walker Kessler?
Not worried about Kessler leave. Now Ace and Peterson are starters
7:03 Then how were the 2026 Jazz the 15th highest assisting team of all time (Per Statmuse)? And the 2nd highest this season only behind Atlanta? Jazz got some playmakers for sure.
8:04 Peterson a playmaker?? He averaged 1.6 assists in college. Hopefully he can develop into a playmaker out of college like Keyonte but I just don't see it.
I don’t think anyone offers Kessler $50 million type of money. I think that type of worry is unwarranted. He isn’t that good. And he has never shown he can be that good. Lakers would be out of their minds if they did.
This a good show, the only i need
Walker Kessler’s agent is his own brother Houston. It has long been known that Houston has an outsized opinion of Walker’s worth (which is understandable considering it's his brother). Everyone thinks Jazz’s offer is more than fair, some even say it’s way too high. Let’s just hope that Mark Walter’s new people in Lakers front office prevent Rob Polinka from doing something stupid.
I thought he was injury prone but turned out it was a left shoulder injury that dated back to his college days (just never took care of it), and now it’s fixed for good. For a 7’2 big guy, his lower body has been quite durable (no significant foot, ankle, knee, hamstring or achilles calf problem). He’s a lob threat, a shot blocker and a rebounding machine. He’s smart, young, and can even shoot the 3’s. What more can we want? Rob needs to offer him a poison pill max contract, so Utah will not match. If we don’t get him, we might as well give up next season. Plz dont just run it back and add window dressing with a Robin Williams addition.
Want landale back
50 million? That number is not even legally allowed for Walker under current CBA rules what are you talking about bro?!
Utah gotta keep him
Bruce banner
Lakers fan here. The Jazz hate the Lakers and will never trade with them. Period.
Bring Gobert back
lakers will offer him 40 million max
Give us Walker Kessler or else…. 😅
let’s see. you are a big man, and have a chance to play with luka and reaves, or stay with a team with glaring need for a playmaker. there is a clear reason why kessler wants to leave and play for the lakers
Well the jazz should have a strong plan b I. Place because they allowed this snowball
