If Kessler's improvement is here to stay, the Jazz better be prepared for some competitive offers this summer.
The Utah Jazz made the bold but team-friendly decision to wait until next summer to extend Walker Kessler. They will have the edge in free agency because he's restricted, but with the progress Kessler has shown to start this season, the Jazz may have to pay more. Especially because the Lakers will be right there and may pay up for him.
