Robert Horry praises Los Angeles Lakers offseason acquisitions Walker Kessler and Quentin Grimes

Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry recently expressed optimism regarding the Los Angeles Lakers roster following the team's latest personnel moves. During an interview with Lakers Nation, Horry cited Walker Kessler and Quentin Grimes as significant additions who will provide defensive toughness to the lineup. Horry noted that while he previously held reservations about Kessler due to collegiate rivalries, he now anticipates the center will impact the Western Conference. Alongside these veteran additions, the Lakers acquired Jaden Hardy, who joined the team after a trade with the Washington Wizards. The team now enters the upcoming season focusing on integrating these new players into a rotation that features Luka Doncic and AR. These changes follow an offseason strategy aimed at reshaping the Lakers' defensive identity and frontcourt depth following the departure of Deandre Ayton.
