The Lakers finally have the bargaining chips to negotiate with Anji

Ayton's arrival gave the Lakers the capital to negotiate with Anji! All teams in the league know that the Lakers need an inside line, and now that Ayton joins, such demand is not so urgent. However, the Lakers are still paying attention to Kessler, and the Lakers believe that Ayton and Kessler can form a starting double tower combination with one offense and one defense. Currently, there are very few teams in the league that are interested in Kessler, and the Lakers are the only more active player. After Angie's series of high asking prices for players did not get a return, Kessler's asking price is likely to loosen, and Kessler's contract is about to expire, and the Jazz faces the option of renewal or transaction. The Lakers can currently propose chip quotations for Hachimura + Kneckett + 2031 first round pick + a second round pick Kessler, Li Kaile and Love.

Hachimura's contract is about to expire and can be used as a player to clear the salary, and also accept Love and Lee Kyle, two players who are not in the Jazz's future plans. Moreover, Hachimura's immediate combat power is significantly better than Lee Kyle and Love, and Knector is a young player worth training, and he also got a first-round pick and a second-round pick. This also made up for Collins' loss of no substantial chips in the tripartite transaction.
