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.

Key Takeaway

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.
