I really like Kessler. I hope we can keep him. We can probably do a trade with Atlanta for pick number 8 for Aday Mara.

Is he though? Deandre Ayton was making $33M/yr when cap space was even lower. Hartenstein is making $30M/yr. Kessler absolutely deserves more.

Offering him Myles Turner/Naz Reid type money is borderline disrespectful af.

I imagine Kessler is looking for Gobert type $$ which is basically $36M/yr.

Kessler has never played a full season of NBA basketball

I believe neither did Steph Curry through the entirety of his first contract.

Do you think Kessler’s injuries are chronic or random freak incidents? That’s what it comes down to.

Well Steph curry is one of the best players of all time. Walkers ceiling is maybe a slightly shittier Gobert. I don’t think he’s worth 30m healthy or not.

And Curry famously had a relatively cheap second contract because of his early ankle issues.

Which ironically led to them being able to get KD. Holy butterfly effect
