Jazz Trade Explanation

The Knicks "have had some interest" in Kessler, per SNY's Ian Begley, who added that Kessler could cost "at least a first-round pick." Since New York miraculously didn't eliminate its draft pick collection in the Mikal Bridges blockbuster, it still has enough to grant Utah's wish.

Knicks Trade Explanation

New York would gain an intimidating interior presence to slot behind Robinson. Kessler has yet to log 1,800 minutes in a season, yet he still finished each of his first two ranked among the league's top six in total blocks.
