Walker Kessler and Utah Jazz at an impasse over a contract extension. Decide to end talks.

Good decision for Utah. Always likely to overpay a guy like that. Let him go to RFA and see what the market is for him. Decide then.

I'm sure it'll be something related to self promotion.  I saw something where it might be tied to Amazon Prime.

So excited for the Decision. The first one went so well. 

If this is about retirement it?s a reflection on just how self-important he is.  If it?s a promotional game he?s playing it?s just obnoxious.  Here is a guy worth over $1B working the fans to get more. 

I look forward to him being out of the league. He?s done some charitable work - hope he focuses on that.

Will be interesting to see if he is put on the trade market vs. waiting and testing market value.  I believe the QO is $14.6M for 2026-27.  Hard to know what kind of dollars were being discussed.  UTA is already paying for Markkanen but otherwise that cap sheet is in pretty good shape.  They can certainly afford to QO, but there is still risk to lose him for nothing.
