I don’t know if it’s 1/4, but he definitely lost of value just by simply being a starter level player on low money. It’s like the Jazz are burning up all the winning value from him as possible and waiting for the last second….which is strange because that entire time the Jazz are trying to tank.
One of the things I regurgitated way too many times is that even though I didn’t “want” to trade Kessler, he probably meant more to another team more than us. We don’t seem extraordinarily high on him or anything (unless you count the non trade as evidence) and the immediate winning value is a net negative for us where it could have really made a difference in a winning team. Unless they really had an exceptional view of him as a prospect, I could see how a trade would make sense.
Situation hasn’t come to a conclusion yet, but it does seem like that the Jazz either have no plan, a bad plan, or a poorly executed one. The timing of trades/moves has been really poor post Rudy/Don.
