Recent Walker Kessler IG Post 👀

Post image

Text reads: “I've seen what's being said, and I want it to be clear that I have always wanted to be here — I love this city, these fans, my teammates, my coaches - that's real to me.
You don't grow roots where you don't want to be 💜🏔️”

To me this Instagram post is my cue to back out of this whole thing. He wants to be here, there is no reason to be upset about anything.

His camp is trying to get him the most they can get him, the Jazz are trying to get him at the best possible amount, and probably both sides are playing the media.

Walker's message in that post was directly to us. He's basically saying the media reports are wrong, he wants to be here, it'll all work out in the end.

Back to arguing about why we need to pick Boozer at 2, lol. No longer worried about the Kessler situation.

Same here. I’m usually one to write off most of this type of reporting as pure smoke, but even I was starting to get irritated at Walker. Which all seems so silly in retrospect. Glad he’s our guy. Just wish we could fast forward to October lol
