Yahoo Sports Utah's asking price for Walker Kessler still very high
One name that has been brought up extensively as a Lakers target is Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler. However, a recent report from Shams Charania on ESPN's First Take made the prospects of that happening seem farfetched (per pickuphoop on X). “They do have some players on this roster–Christian Wood, Jared Vanderbilt, players like Jaxson Hayes, Cam Reddish–how do you figure out a way to consolidate talent?” wondered Charania. “…Every time they call on Walker Kessler in Utah, that asking price is really high. So that front office is trying to make calls, doing due diligence, but at the end of the day, it takes two teams to tango.”

Walker Kessler sat silently at a restaurant table, mouth open, his eyes locked onto the phone screen. Then came the words he was hoping to hear: "Your new Miss America is … Alabama." He dropped the phone and shot up from his chair in excitement. His girlfriend, Abbie Stockard, had just won Miss America.

"That was not on my bingo card, for sure," he said when asked how it felt to be dating Miss America. "It's a great title and stuff, but more than that she's an incredible young woman, even before she won Miss America or anything. It's cool to see her get recognized for that, but she's an incredible person. To me, she'll always just be Abbie." -via KSL.com / January 8, 2025
