The Jazz are willing to send off the inside star, but are they still waiting for a "meeting expectations" offer?

According to local media DeseretNews reporter Sarah Todd of Salt Lake City, the Utah Jazz is expected to hear a trading offer for inside star Walker Kessler this summer. According to previous news, the Jazz is indeed willing to listen to relevant quotes, but they will only start negotiations on the transaction if they meet their high expectations. The possibility of Kessler leaving the team does exist, especially if there are teams that offer "unrejectable" chips to the Jazz.
In the NBA regular season this season, Kessler played 58 games in 82 games, averaging 30 minutes of playing time, averaging 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.4 blocks, including 4.6 frontcourt rebounds, 1.5 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 66.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 17.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 52%. Kessler's performance this season is pretty good, his playing time has improved, and his various data has also increased to a certain extent. He is also able to score double-double data, which is not an easy task. Kessler has good basket efficiency on the offensive end, and his performance in front and back rebounds is also very outstanding, and he also has a very good ability to protect the basket on the defensive end.
However, Kessler is also a player with outstanding functionality. He performs very well in inside defense, basket protection and rebound protection. However, after all, he is a big inside player. He still has certain problems in his movement speed. He also lacks sufficient shooting ability and his threat on the offensive end is relatively limited. He will also affect the team's space on the court and cause the team to be targeted on the defensive end. In other words, Kessler is a player with very distinct advantages and disadvantages. He can play a role on the court, but his weaknesses may also be taken advantage of by opponents.
For the Jazz, we actually don't quite understand their team-building ideas. As a bad team, what they need to do at the current stage is to find players suitable for the long-term development of the team. Judging from the Jazz's situation, they are not completely disguised. Some players who may not be in the team's long-term plan do not seize the opportunity to send them away and choose to hold them in their hands. This directly leads to a decline in the trading value of these players. Not only Kessler, but also Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Collin Sexton are actually similar. If they are considered part of the team's future, the Jazz should recruit and end the reconstruction with them as the core. If they are not part of the long-term plan, sending them away early can get a lot of future assets. If they continue to treat Kessler in this way, his deal value will only continue to decline.
