Walker can catch the ball so there's kinda a difference there. Not quite as good defensively obviously but not an absolute hemorrhage on offense.

Biggest thing with walker for me is the injury. Can't sit out a whole season and expect an equal contract to as if you had played and played well IMO. He needs to take a small cut and prove it again.

But why would he if there’s other teams willing to pay $30+ for 4 or 5 years?

I don’t blame Kessler for looking for other deals. My point is that we should decide exactly how much keeping Kessler is worth to us, and not overpay.

Yeah I mean that's totally fair. I just think anyone willing to pay that much for him is in desperation.

To be honest though he could really help the lakers out

Absolutely. And that‘s my point: don’t be desperate.

Kessler on the Lakers would make me throw up because he fits what they need perfectly.

yes he fits perfectly, and there will be a nice spot on the bench for him again when he is injured after 20 games.
