Robert Horry just declared Walker Kessler the key to the Lakers’ success this season — not Luka Doncic or Austin Reaves — calling the newly traded big man a game-changer before he’s even played a game. Kessler, acquired from the Jazz in a bold deal that netted Utah future draft assets and a massive $130M contract, brings elite rim protection and surprising offensive flashes, including a hot hand from three-point range. Horry’s high praise is especially striking given his past feud with Kessler’s former GM, Danny Ainge. While Utah’s gamble hinges on future picks, the Lakers may see immediate dividends — and Horry’s prediction could be the shot in the arm they need.
