The New York Knicks could trade for Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler.
Throughout the offseason, the New York Knicks have been seeking several different options to replace center Isaiah Hartenstein, who left for the Oklahoma City Thunder in free agency.
"The 7-footer is an elite rim protector who averaged 8.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 22.3 minutes while making 65.4 percent of his shots,"Kessler, 23, is young and doesn't have much experience playing in clutch games after two seasons with the lottery-bound Jazz, but his skillset would eclipse what Hartenstein was able to accomplish over this past season with the Knicks.
Given his age and his starting status with the Jazz, his price for a trade with likely be multiple draft picks, which the Knicks don't have much of considering they gave the Brooklyn Nets most of their future capital in the blockbuster deal that brought Mikal Bridges to Manhattan.
