The player for whom the Utah Jazz will consider offers and who has already attracted the interest of the Knicks

New York Knicks is aware that with the trade of Mikal Bridges earlier in the summer, the Big Apple team has become a serious contender for the ring in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. However, the New York franchise also has a huge gap at the center position, which they hoped to address with negotiations for Walker Kessler with the Utah Jazz back in June.

However, those negotiations did not come to fruition, and after Isaiah Hartenstein's departure to Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2024 Free Agency, the Knicks currently only have Mitchell Robinson as a reliable center for Tom Thibodeau's rotation.

But there is good news for the New York Knicks. According to Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, the Jazz have definitively decided to find a way out for Kessler before the start of the upcoming season. Last year, the young center lost importance in the rotation compared to his promising rookie season. It has reached a point where he no longer fits into the plans of the Salt Lake City team.

Walker Kessler: An Elite Rim Protector

Walker Kessler's outstanding ability to protect the rim seems tailor-made for him to be part of Thibodeau's plans with the Knicks. A starting five composed of Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, Julius Randle, and either Walker Kessler or Mitchell Robinson, with two well-established centers in the NBA, poses a real threat to other ring contenders.
