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.

NBA reporter Jovan Buha revealed the asking price for Kessler. The Jazz are looking to get back one quality young player, along with two draft picks. Considering what he's done in the first three years of his career, this is a fair price that teams can match.

To that end, there is a potential trade target to keep a close eye on. Dorian Finney-Smith left the Lakers to sign a four-year, $53 million contract with the Houston Rockets. Could the two teams work out some kind of a sign-and-trade that would send a player back to Los Angeles?

The Bucks move standout reserve Pat Connaughton to the Hornets in a reported move that helps Milwaukee shed some salary.

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading Pat Connaughton and two of their own second-round picks (2031, 2032) to the Charlotte Hornets for Vasilije Micic, sources tell ESPN.
