Despite acquiring one of the league's best defenders in Jaren Jackson Jr., there's no reason to think such a trade will have any impact on Walker Kessler re-signing with the Utah Jazz. Even if Kessler gets the richest deal possible, the Jazz are in line to match it. Such is a harsh reality as old as time with restricted free agency.
And now, it will be even harder for Kessler to get the kind of money he wants this summer. Earlier, intel suggested that the Washington Wizards planned to pursue Kessler this offseason. Now, that probably won't be the case after acquiring Anthony Davis.
