Absolutely brutal for Walker as he was on his way to his best season of his career.
Not extending him doesn’t look too bad at all now.
Full on tank ahead as our defense will be atrocious again.

I assume the Jazz can't sign anyone unless they waive or trade someone?

I can't believe we didn't trade this guy last year.
Yeah, if multiple FRPs were in play, probably one we should have pulled the trigger on.
But he'll bounce back and I personally would love him with this group in the 4 year $80 million range.

They should get an injury waiver.

Is this likely or Walker signing a one year deal to prove himself and get rid of the Jazz's RFA rights more likely.
That would be incredibly stupid and has virtually zero chance of happening.

Cam Thomas did this exact thing last year after an injury plagued contract year fwiw.

Cam Thomas is also just about the least in demand archetype of player.
