The 7-foot center, a rim protector since his 2022 draft from Gonzaga, turned down two first-round picks from the Pacers at the trade deadline, signaling Utah's intent to keep him. Yet his representatives at CAA push for far more than the Jazz's $25 million annual target, drawing interest from cap-rich teams like the Lakers with $50 million in space. As restricted free agency looms this summer, Utah holds matching rights, but a lucrative offer sheet could force tough choices amid a thin center market.

Walker Kessler dominated early this season with double-doubles and elite blocks before a torn labrum cut him short. Now his camp wants well over $25 million a year, testing the Jazz's commitment.

Balde couldn't handle Atlético's quick breaks from Giuliano Simeone and Marcos Llorente, while Koundé struggled against Saúl Ñíguez and Antoine Griezmann's counters—issues echoed in a prior game against Mallorca. Both have played heavy minutes this season, with Balde over 1,800 in La Liga and Koundé nearing 2,000 across competitions, contributing to their dip in form.

Barça lead La Liga by one point, but the vulnerabilities highlight John Terry's point that defense wins titles.
