Free agency around the NBA will officially commence on Sunday morning, and league-wide, the questions on everybody’s minds will be about the fate of LeBron James, Paul George and DeMarcus Cousins, three of the brightest stars in the association.
The Jazz will have the full mid-level exception at their disposal, about $8.6 million dollars to spend. And with that, the Jazz feel they have the chance to extract a good player from a market that projects to be leaner than most.
But Utah’s priorities lie elsewhere, regardless. Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey, publicly and privately, has made it clear he wants to focus on his incumbent free agents.
