They had to overpay for him but they better pray he’s healthy.

Pelinka smoking crack

Treating Walker Kessler like he’s a superstar, what the fuck 🤣🤣

jalen duren, you are a sacremento king!

The lakers are white af 

The Pelinka Special - Player Option

He is not worth all this lmao

The Cream Team

Is DominAyton going to be ok being a backup?

Overpaid in dollars and assets like I thought.

RIP Duren’s max contract

Ainge masterclass

Get in here!!! The white boys trio

How does someone that missed all season get paid that much?

The market for bigs is crazy holy shit

Wemby effect taking place just like Shaq.

Lakers going full Exciting Whites

Kessler is a top 5 rim protector this is perfect for Luka and Reaves who throw hella lobs.

Danny Ainge fleeced Pelinka lmfao holy shit scammed in broad daylight

The white avengers make another key signing!

Such a panic signing by LA. He’s played over 65 games once in his career (his rookie season).

Man I need the Bulls to do something im tryna change my flair smdh

Yo y’all weren’t lying by saying Pelinka loves giving out player options lmao

This is the most generational overpay of all time fair plate utah

Oh my god this is a terrible deal for the lakers I love it

Someone from my fantasy league now owes each of us a Lakers jersey as part of a deal LOL

Pelinka is off the dust

Could the Lakers get any whiter?

Lakers turning into the whitest starting 5 in the league.

Kessler is a dog. But that’s way too much for him man. That contract + the trade is brutal

but why

I’m sorry but Kessler is not that good for either the trade package or the contract. Let alone both.

Lmao, Lakers trash asf. I can’t wait to hear their fans cry for years to come.

Pelinka sucks 

Lakers making all the white moves.

Lakers better buy boxes of sunscreen for that locker room.

The lakers are now white supremecists

3 white guys is too much ngl

The Lakers would like you to forget about the Mozgov contract, but this only makes me remember the Mozgov contract harder

After Utah, is the real winner here the Pistons? Sounds like if Duren’s leverage is the Cap-less Kings he’ll need to accept whatever Detroit was giving him

Mozgov 2.0

Got damn Ainge used no lube on this one

calling AR a star guard is wild lmao

Contract is what it is given the circumstances and the lack of Lakers leverage but holy shit two unprotected firsts and two swaps??

Love it for Jazz imo, this opens up a starting spot for Ace Bailey, and you don’t have to pay a crazy amount to Walker Kessler

Classy Lakers

Crazy for a guy that played 5 games last year. Both the trade and the contract they gave him.

Boy Pelinka really is terrible, this sub acts like he’s not

I feel terrible for Luka. He’s trapped in the hell of his first few years again.

Fuck Nico forever for screwing this guy over.

People will point to the haul of picks, but damn man, IDK why we just don’t match that. $32m is an overpay, but Kessler and JJJ seems like an optimal fit.

White boy summer

was making jokes that Pelinka was betting everything on Kessler, but good grief. He literally bet everything on him [Gulps]

It’s like Shaq leaving ORL all over again 🤣

What an overpay for an injury prone hypothetical player lol

Not a big fan of this. I’m sure Luka asked for another piece, but 2 first round picks? They have to hope Luka doesn’t get injured or else the Jazz might be building something.

And people thought 2 picks and a swap for Kawhi was expensive. Yikes

He’s going to average 20 rebounds a game

Timberwolves legend

is this guy an all star? You sure this guy can catch a lob from Luka? Duren is better a fit.

You just have to do it for superstars like walker kessler.

This team is going to be so mid.

Say what you will, but he might play to his contract worth more than Reaves. Hes gonna eat with Luka and Reaves

Duren is going back to Detroit!

Did Lakers lose Ayton or Hayes?

Lakers better hope he’s healthy 

Pelinka special

Love that Luka asked for a star center and Pelinka gave him Kessler, dude is so unlucky with shitty GMs 

I guess that TMZ video of him saying “he’s here” was accurate lol

Where the hell do they get their point of attack defender? No big wings. They have 3 starters and no more draft capital

He can accept that option 4 years in advance lmao

Wait isn’t Duren meeting them again this morning????

thats quite a lot i thought it will be sign and trade and vando also going to jazz

Most stupid ass trade you couldve made. Kessler is not that guy lmao. Shouldve tried getting. Zach Collins and Mitchell Robinson instead.

Two unprotected firsts and swaps to land a center who was only a full time starter once and has injury concerns. That’s tough, good haul by Utah.

Had the leverage with him being a RFA and got some great compensation for him, can’t complain about the move

Now if only they can talk Dean Wade out of signing with philly and get Max Strus

The Ainges fleeced again

This move doesn’t help against the Spurs or OKC. He can’t guard the perimeter so it’s not good

Signature center lol

That poor man is getting so exposed in drop with Luka and AR as the poa

Player Option. The Rob Pelinka special

Mitchell Robinson signed for ³⁄₄₇.4

Robert Williams signed for ³⁄₄₄. Of which only the first year is fully guaranteed, 2nd is 5 mill guaranteed, 3rd is non guaranteed (unless he plays 50 games)

Signing those 2 and using your picks to trade for an another impact player would have been way better use of cap space and assets.

Those guys make a combined 30.46 million next year, Walker Kessler will make 32.5.

Literally can’t remember the last time I saw this dude play a game. What could possibly go wrong trading your future for him?

Now we trade Rui for Duncan Robinson.
