Jazz rejected two first rounders for Walker Kessler?
The Knicks have interest in trading for Utah Jazz big man Walker Kessler, but the cost could be steep. SNY’s Ian Begley reported on Tuesday that teams had offered two first-round picks to Utah in recent weeks and were rebuffed. Begley added that the value of the first-rounders offered was not known. Specifically, it was not clear if there were protections attached.

Jazz trade:
Walker Kessler
which side says no? – 12:54 PM

Not surprising b/c we know how Danny Ainge operates, but Utah has purportedly turned down offers that include two first-round picks in exchange for Walker Kessler, per @IanBegley – 12:32 PM

when I interviewed Cam Spencer, I absolutely had to ask about his screening and his willingness to move without the ball to help his teammates get a clean look.
Look at this absolute hip check screen he throws on Walker Kessler to get Edey free for the bucket

That looked like Walker Kessler got that clean to me. Maybe some body after the block, but that should be marginal contact – 11:20 PM

The Jazz are asking for at least a first-round pick in Walker Kessler trade discussions, per @IanBegley.

This Jazz offense right now is whoever has it shoots it…..gotta get the ball to pop a lot more
Just as I say this, Walker Kessler makes a terrific extra pass to Sensabaugh for a three – 10:15 PM

Zach Edey getting a good early test against Walker Kessler in the SLC Summer League. Collects four points, six rebounds and two blocks in the first half. Also gets put in pick-and-roll a bunch … which will probably happen a lot next season. – 10:01 PM

Ben Anderson: Per the @utahjazz: No injuries to report. Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Walker Kessler will not dress for the game. #TakeNote | @kslsports -via Twitter @BensHoops / July 9, 2024
“The Knicks had been in touch with Utah and had some interest in Walker Kessler, the big man, as a potential solution for them at the backup five. But teams in touch with Utah say the Jazz are looking for at least a first-round pick in return for Kessler in these conversations that had gone on earlier in the offseason. So that’s going to be a tough price for the Knicks to meet or match, and I would assume that they wouldn’t be able to get that deal done.” -via YouTube / July 9, 2024
