Following Myles Turner's departure in the offseason, the Indiana Pacers are on the hunt for his replacement, and they may have just found it: Utah Jazz big man Walker Kessler.
Kessler has been in the rumor mill in the past, and even Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report recently mocked up a trade that would send him to Indiana. Trading for the 24-year-old could be in the Pacers' best interest, and this possibility just became even more of a possibility.
According to The Athletic's Tony Jones, Kessler and the Jazz are not expected to reach an agreement on a rookie-scale contract, which would make him a restricted free agent for next summer.
