Utah Jazz rumor: OKC willing to trade first-round pick for Hood or Burks

Will they or won’t they? That is the prevailing question surrounding the Utah Jazz with just days remaining until the NBA trade deadline arrives. Several Utah Jazz players have featured heavily in trade rumors recently. However, the team’s recent win streak, coupled with a problematic market, may curtail potential deals for Utah.

Nevertheless, there may be at least one team willing to cough up the necessary assets to take on one of two Jazz guards whose names have been prominent in trade chatter. Namely, Rodney Hood and Alec Burks. That team is the Oklahoma City Thunder.

According to Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler, OKC may be willing to part with future draft picks as part of a trade package to bring in a difference-maker.
