As Utah Jazz fans anxiously wait with bated breath on trade deadline fireworks that may or may not actually come, a popular former Jazzman finds himself on the move for the second time in the last year.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cleveland Cavaliers have dealt Jazz alum Rodney Hood to the Portland Trail Blazers. In return, the Cavs will receive guards Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin, each of whom are on expiring contracts, and second-round picks in 2021 and 2023.
Hood had veto rights in the trade, but was reportedly excited by the prospect of heading back Westward and joining a high-level playoff team.
