Kessler run protection would make life so much easier and better for the other lakers that their game would go way up. We all know Kessler is great specialist but the big guy can run the floor and control the paint. With good passing he will be a menace on the offensive end when teams over compensate on other guys. It’ll cost only a pick plus removing protections and probably a swap too and a second. All compromises because he is that good and has a nice rookie contract. Lakers aren’t giving up much but their future which they can afford to do while they are so heavily invested in ad and Lebron. Lakers should go and get the sheriff.
