Have the Jazz done a good enough job of replacing Walker Kessler? On the WNBA side, the guys have a nuanced conversation about the Las Vegas Aces' decision to waive Chennedy Carter: where communication might've broken down, some of the on-court shortcomings, and why we haven't heard much from the Aces -- at least not yet.
