I think most rumors are just glazing other teams besides the Jazz. The amount of supposed trades the Lakers fans think they can get for Kessler is laughable. The Jazz ain't gonna trade him. One of them was like Kessler and Sexton for Jalen Hood-Schifino and Max Christie. Like Bro.
I will say, out of the guys said to be on the chopping block (Clarkson, Collins, Sexton) I cannot possibly see why the Jazz would trade Sexton or Collins. They are still young, play well, and really help the younger guys develop. They aren't even in their peak yet. The Jazz gave up Mitchell in the mindset of a 4 year 72MIL contract with Sexton as their future. And he could be a key piece. And they had been trying to get Collins for a while, and he is still not in his peak. Collins could train Filipowski and/or Cody Williams to be much better.
Clarkson makes sense, because he can't be a long-term piece now. He was supposed to be for mitchell and gobert but that time is long past. He isn't an ideal player for the Jazz now, but he is still good and can help a contender. Don't get me wrong, I love the tattoo-king, headband throwing, square-up-against-Kuminga legend, Filipino GOAT, Crazy Hair, crafty streaky 99-threes JC, but he has to go sometimes, whether I like it or not.
