The NBA shopping season is coming to a close for the campaign on Feb. 7, the league's annual trade deadline.
Once again, Utah Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey will be trying to find ways to improve the team. Since Lindsey’s arrival, he hasn’t shied away from last-minute trade deadline deals. In the past he’s traded away Enes Kanter for a draft pick (which eventually became Ricky Rubio), and last season, Lindsey send Rodney Hood to Cleveland in a three-team deal for Jae Crowder, which was a straight-up robbery.
Lindsey has plenty of assets to use. Not only does he have all of his future first-round draft picks (one can never be frivolous with these), but the roster he has assembled has many players who would help other teams improve.
