Here we are: 24 hours from the NBA trade deadline, and the Utah Jazz have been as active as most anticipated, already involved in three exchanges in the past few weeks. Danny Ainge and the Utah front office are on the phones poking, prodding, and testing the trade waters before making a meaningful splash.
Dishing out 3 late first-rounders to Phoenix in return for the Suns’ 2031 pick, snagging a second-round pick tied to LAC’s PJ Tucker, and two more seconds on a Jalen Hood-Schifino flyer is an adequate—while not seismic—activity level for a Utah team eager to consolidate and optimize their roster to meet long-term plans.
