And yet, at the same time, it's also worth seeing whether they can bag a finishing piece for next year's group. The ideal player doesn't break the financial or asset bank, won't jetlag the offense and improves the defense in front of a healthy Kessler. But he has just one more team controlled year left on his deal after this one (2027-28 player option). Christie's defensive motor makes up for it, and a full-strength Jazz squad with Markkanen, Bailey and Kessler next season won't want for size. Jalen Suggs could be untouchable for the Orlando Magic.
