In a significant trade, the Los Angeles Lakers have completed a deal to acquire guard Jordan Clarkson, center Walker Kessler, and sharpshooter Seth Curry. In return, the Lakers send forward Jarred Vanderbilt, guard Patty Mills, and a 2025 second-round draft pick to their trade partners.
Clarkson, a proven scoring threat, brings dynamic playmaking and offensive firepower to the Lakers’ backcourt. With a career that includes several seasons as a top scoring option, Clarkson’s ability to create his own shot and provide instant offense off the bench will be crucial to Los Angeles’ rotation. His veteran presence will also help strengthen the Lakers’ depth and flexibility in their quest for another championship.
Walker Kessler, the highly touted young center, adds a significant defensive presence to the Lakers’ frontcourt. Known for his elite shot-blocking ability and impressive rebounding skills, Kessler will offer a strong defensive anchor alongside Anthony Davis. His rim protection and growth as an interior force make him a valuable asset for a team that already prides itself on its defense.
Seth Curry, an excellent three-point shooter, provides an added dimension to the Lakers’ perimeter offense. As a marksman who can space the floor, Curry’s ability to hit clutch shots from beyond the arc will stretch opposing defenses and complement the team’s stars.
In exchange, the Lakers send Jarred Vanderbilt, known for his hustle and defense, along with veteran guard Patty Mills and a 2025 second-round pick. While both Vanderbilt and Mills brought depth to the Lakers’ rotation, the front office felt this trade was the right move to improve their title aspirations.
This trade solidifies the Lakers’ commitment to building a balanced and potent roster as they pursue another championship in the competitive Western Conference.
