Kessler was released on the shelves, and the Warriors and the Pelicans were full of sincerity

The Jazz team is really incredible, and the series of operations this summer are completely incomprehensible. It is said that Anji is an old fox and his system is too smart, especially when he sent away Mitchell and Gobert one after another, he won 9 first rounds. But in the past two years, Anji's operations have made people puzzled, and his confused operations have also made Jazz unable to find a successful path to reconstruction.

In the trading and contract renewal of Markanen, Markanen played the best season of his career in the 22-23 season, averaging 25.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game, and a shooting percentage of nearly 50%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 39%. The key is that Markanen's annual salary at that time was only 16 million. The performance of All-Stars, the bargain salary, Markkanen's suitors can be said to be a big hit, but Anji spoke out 4-5 first rounds + 1 quasi-All-Stars. This wave of operations really treats other teams as suckers.

This is not the most unpredictable thing. Seeing that it could not be sold, I turned around and sent a five-year contract of 238 million. I never thought that Markanin would "pull" the first year of the new contract. His shooting percentage dropped to 42.3% per game, with only 19 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 34.6%. That's fine, the key is that his contract is increasing year by year. By the 2028-29 season, Markanin's annual salary will reach 53 million, which will completely block the Jazz's salary space.

Locking off the salary space has caused the team to experience embarrassment on renewing the inside star Kessler. Considering Kessler's performance in the past season, he averaged only 11.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game. Although his defensive ability ranks among the top five in the league, his offensive skills are too rough. It is difficult to get the maximum salary by just eating cakes at the basket. At the same time, he lacks the ability to lead the team alone. He is a very senior blue-collar worker, and the excellent performance of Xia Lian, Filipovsky, made the Jazz, who was in the reconstruction, intend to put Kessler on the shelves.

Of course, the quote on the shelves will definitely drop, but at least two first rounds will be required, which is the least. I personally think that there will be many teams willing to take over in the two first rounds, among which the Lakers and Warriors are particularly active. As the only team with zero strength in the offseason, the team's meritorious inside player Looney was spared in vain in the offseason. The inside line is now the most serious problem for the Warriors. Kessler is able to provide rebounds and defense for the Warriors, which is an epic improvement for the Warriors. It is reported that the Warriors will send Bojie + 28 years and 31 years first round.

Compared with the Warriors, the Lakers' quotation is a bit shabby. Knector + 30-year first round + 32-year second round, Knector has completely lost his value. He can't even understand the one in Xia Lian, and add a first round and second round to exchange Kessler. This chip is probably not easy to fool the old fox Anji. If the Warriors' biggest contender is the New Orleans Pelicans, it is reported that they are willing to send Sadiq Bay+ in the first round in 28 and 30 years. In this way, the Warriors and the Pelicans will be completely defeated.
