Good news as Uttah Jazz top player Walker Kessler send clear message concerning his move to NY Knicks, saying It was his dream to Play for the top team and the team of his life i am happy and can’t wait to be there ESPN report few minutes ago

The New York Knicks may not be done wheeling and dealing in the trade market just yet. The Knicks made the first big splash of the offseason last week when the team acquired Mikal Bridges from their crosstown rival Brooklyn Nets.

The Auburn alum finished third in 2022-23 Rookie of the Year voting after averaging 9.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks on a stunning 72.0% shooting clip. Despite his strong performance, Utah’s acquisition of John Collins during the 2023 offseason has created a logjam in their frontcourt. Kessler, who started 40 games as a rookie, started just 22 contests in his sophomore campaign, and his numbers declined.

Kessler, a 7-foot-tall shot-blocker, could be the ideal defensive backstop for the Knicks’ wing-heavy lineup. Given the injury history of Knicks’ incumbent starter Mitchell Robinson, Kessler could have plenty of opportunities to take a big bite out of the Big Apple.
