Would You Trade Walker Kessler for The 9th Pick?

Would You Trade Walker Kessler for The 9th Pick?

  • Total voters
    63
  • Poll closed .
Also, and this is just internet rumors from UNC fans, but supposedly Walker Kessler's dad is annoying behind the scenes. I was told that his dad pushes Kessler to be a stretch 5 and part of the reason he transferred out of UNC was because Roy wouldnt let him shoot 3's
 
It probably depends on who is still available at #9 to get me to jump, but I'll say yes. If the Jazz can get a lottery pick for Kessler, I'd do it in general. If the Jazz don't see Walker as a starter, then even a guy like Filipowski is probably a better fit.
 
count me as a hell no. I still love kessler and fu to the losers who have given up on him. now for the first pick overall, thats a different story. id probably help Kessler pack his **** to show my appreciation.

I would. If I knew Hardy trusted him more and if I thought he sees him as our center of the future I might not... but IMO he obviously has serious reservations about him. Thus... if he's not going to use him... trade him and get someone that might get used.

same here. I think Kessler exceeds the expectation for the 9th pick....but if we're not going to invest in him/not believe in him this is good value for him.
 
I just don't see him fitting Hardy's schemes. Let's get someone in who does.
I'm curious to see how Kessler fits in another situation.

My biggest concern with Kessler isn't even Kessler it is Hardy. If Kessler isn't a Hardy guy then I would prefer to move on from him rather than be frustrated with his minute distribution like I was this year.

If you are the Grizzlies and can get Kessler for the 9th pick in this draft you make that trade 100% of the time. Half the dudes selected in the top 10 this year will be out of the league in 5 years.

Kessler would have a big role for them too. That value for $3-$5M a year is a huge steal for a team that is right up against the tax like MEM.
 
If I got Cody Williams and Zach Edey and I only gave up Kessler then I would do it. Maybe I would ask for second round pick. Kessler would thrive and we would lose until Edey got better which is good for 2025. Shoot Collins would probably play better with Edey.

Trade 29 and 32 for 22 and select whoever maybe Dunn. Cody, Edey, Dunn. That would be a great draft.
