INSIDER – Walker Kessler extension talks LOOM. What happens next | Winning when?

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, explores the Walker Kessler extension talks and potential outcomes. He analyzes the likelihood of a deal, considering market value, cap space implications, and restricted free agency scenarios. Locke also discusses the impact of Keyonte George’s return to the Jazz, highlighting his exceptional teammate qualities and positive influence on team dynamics.

The podcast delves into the Clippers’ alleged salary cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard, examining its potential consequences for the NBA.

He speculates on possible penalties, including draft pick losses and fines, while emphasizing the need for caution in interpreting the situation without concrete evidence. The episode concludes with Locke’s reflections on his broadcasting career and gratitude for his podcast audience.

  1. @davidlocke im sorry if you think the jazz would say awesome! kessler got way better and now we have to pay him more youre crazy, thats called coping. You want to pay early on good players not later.

  2. Isn't the idea of a rebuild to find good young players, keep them and build a solid team from the ground up? You got a solid big with a nice future ahead… why hesitate? Not much else going on for the Jazz right now

  3. Yesterday 09/22/2025. I am watching Locked On SEC on my family room television. While the family is tooling around the house getting ready for church. I implore you to watch that episode. Our families deserve better!!!!

  4. Super cool that you found a way to automate your game prep with Claude! Let's hope it doesn't hallucinate stats though!
