As is tradition, the Utah Jazz and the Cleveland Cavaliers agreed to a trade today. This time, however, it didn’t involve big names like Donovan Mitchell or Jordan Clarkson. Not even someone like Kyle Korver or Jae Crowder. This time, it was the Jazz sending Damian Jones to Cleveland. The Cavs are absorbing Jones’ $2.6 million salary, so no assets are being sent back to Utah.
The Jazz are trading center Damian Jones to the Cavaliers, sources tell ESPN.

The Jazz were over the roster limit, so it is unsurprising to see them offloading one of the depth pieces.
