The Utah Jazz made headlines on Monday afternoon with the team’s acquisition of Atlanta Hawks former first-round pick John Collins. Utah was expected to be aggressive this offseason, and with this trade, it proves just that.
The addition of Collins in Salt Lake City could be one step closer to the team returning to the postseason. Nonetheless, it’s time to take a deeper look at the trade and give it a grade.
