Grade the trade idea: Jazz send Walker Kessler to a fallen contender after overhaul

There have been no trade rumors involving Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler, especially since the Los Angeles Lakers took themselves out of the running by signing Deandre Ayton. However, that won't stop trade proposals from pouring in. The most recent one would send Kessler to the Boston Celtics.

Bleacher Report's "Cone" outlined the following trade between the Celtics and Jazz:

Celtics receive: Kessler, Kyle Anderson, KJ Martin

Jazz receive: Anfernee Simons, 2026 first-round pick, three second-round picks

"Cone" explained that the real centerpiece of the deal would be the first-round pick the Jazz would get back because Jayson Tatum likely won't play this season.
