NBA Free Agency: 3 Best Landing Spots For Kemba Walker This Summer

#2 Utah Jazz

Walker could replace Ricky Rubio as the Jazz's starting point guard

Ricky Rubio has played a major part in the Utah Jazz's recent revival, however, the Spanish guard looks increasingly likely to exit the team this summer. Just like Walker, Rubio is about to hit free agency, and the Jazz actively tried to trade away the 28-year-old ahead of the February trade deadline.

The expiration of Rubio's near $15 million-per-year deal will give the Jazz some flexibility this summer, and a new point guard will be an immediate priority. Dante Exum has yet to demonstrate that he can step up to the starting lineup, whereas Donovan Mitchell has performed better at the SG spot.

The presence of Rudy Gobert would help to hide Walker's defensive limitations, and there is little doubt that the Jazz would be a stronger outfit next season with Walker pulling the team's offensive strings.
