Jazz and Kessler not expected to sign extension

Another RFA that Utah is likely to simply let test the market next summer. Not a ton of teams with cap space and they’ll be able to match. Feels like they want to build around him, sorta kinda, but if you knocked Danny out with an overpay at the deadline he could be gettable. Not sure it’s worth the price with Ayton on the roster. That’s a January topic, IMO.
I think in the new CBA era you will see more teams not offering extensions on RFA and wait to see what the market is. But we do know that Danny will not just give him away. I doubt we have enough to offer.
