The Utah Jazz are closer to a championship-contending team than they have been in years. With franchise cornerstones Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert locked in long-term, the time is now to take that next step. If only that was easier done than said. Fortunately the Jazz are in a position to do just that.
With the contracts that Utah has that are expiring or non-guaranteed, they can comfortably manufacture a max salary slot for July. That’s great timing for one of the best free agent summers in a long time. I put together a free agency ranking that you can go back and review here.
