The Utah Jazz said they were considering trading Walker Kessler after the 2023-24 NBA season. However, this year the Jazz have said Walker Kessler is untouchable. Kessler has had a decent season so far, but it hasn’t been great. Maybe the Jazz are playing poker, and another team could trade for him during the offseason. For now, he remains the Jazz’s starting center. If Kristaps Porzingis can’t stay healthy this 2024-25 playoffs, I’d expect Boston to be one of the teams calling Utah about Kessler. 2/10/2025
