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.

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.

But rumors swirled this week, linking L.A. to trade talks with the Utah Jazz for center Walker Kessler and the Miami Heat for wing Andrew Wiggins, and representatives for both Reaves and Vincent were not contacted about any of the teams involved, sources told ESPN, which is customary when a trade nears the finish line. -via ESPN / June 30, 2025
