Teams around the league have shown interest in Ke’lel Ware, per @WindhorstESPN
“Big man who can stretch the floor, high energy, block shots. There would be quite a few teams interested in Kel’el Ware if he got shipped to Milwaukee and they were willing to flip him. If I were the Lakers and Kel’el got shipped to Milwaukee, I’d be on the phone.”
