Talks are confirmed, not the trade itself. Not yet, anyway. Discussions are ongoing, but the interest is real. That acquisition would be noteworthy on a couple of levels.
First, the Jazz need scoring, especially from distance, especially from the position Mirotic plays — the four. In the case of Mirotic, the stretch-four, the very stretched-out-four.
Shooters are at a premium in the modern NBA, creating not just points but space. The points come when spacing is right. Not just points, but efficient points from all over the floor. That’s what Mirotic could give the Jazz.
