All Jazz can be traded, but it takes a huge price to get inside stars?

American media ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel updated his social media account, and he also talked about the potential updates of Utah Jazz at the moment. Siegel said that all players in the Jazz team are currently in a tradeable state, including the highly-watched inside star Walker Kessler. However, Siegel also believes that Kessler is undoubtedly the one with a high price among all the Jazz players. Unless they can receive a "unrejectable offer" from other teams, he doesn't think the Jazz will easily send him away at this stage.

In the NBA regular season this season, Kessler played 58 games in 82 games, averaging 30 minutes of playing time, averaging 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.4 blocks, including 4.6 frontcourt rebounds, 1.5 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 66.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 17.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 52%. Kessler's playing time this season has improved significantly, and his data has also increased to a certain extent, and his characteristics have been more clearly reflected. Kessler has good scoring and finishing ability at the basket. He has also done a good job in competing for rebounds in the front and back courts. His role in protecting the basket is also very outstanding, and his role on the court is also relatively obvious.

But on the other hand, Kessler is a tall inside player after all, and his movement speed is still a little slow, or when he is on the court, the team's lineup will also have natural shortcomings. He is easily targeted by opponents on the defensive end, and it is difficult for him to provide more support to the team on the offensive end, which will also lead to limited offensive space. Although his personal data is quite good, the problem is that the Jazz where Kessler is located has a bad record and it is difficult for him to rely on his own efforts to provide more help and support to the team.

From the Jazz's point of view, Kessler is certainly one of the most precious assets in their team, and they certainly hope to get more assets by sending him away. But from the actual situation, Jazz also needs to figure out his goals and direction of future development. If they determine Kessler is in the team's future plans, then they shouldn't send Kessler away, even if they get a generous offer. If Kessler is not in the team's future plan, then they should also stop when they see the best and send him away as soon as possible when they encounter a suitable offer. Such a slow handling method is very unfavorable to the team's reconstruction and will also lead to good players being directly under their hands.
