Many are looking forward to Walker Kessler's return to the Utah Jazz next season, but all indications are that neither side will make it easy for the other in extension talks this summer. The Jazz obviously want to make Kessler's contract as team-friendly as possible, but what many don't know is that they are doing so for another reason beyond Kessler himself: Keyonte George.
Kessler has definitely earned himself a significant pay raise this offseason, even after his season ended early. However, all indications have been that he and the Jazz are far apart on what his next deal should look like.
