‘Tis the season for contract buyouts in the NBA. As such, contending teams in both conferences will get a post-trade deadline shot at beefing up for the stretch run. For their part, the Utah Jazz probably weren’t expected to be major players on the buyout market. However, at least one player that may interest them could become available.
Namely, former Jazzman turned Philadelphia 76ers forward Trevor Booker.
Per reports, Philly is close to inking free agent big man Ersan Ilyasova, himself a recipient of a buyout with the Atlanta Hawks. To make room for Ilyasova, though, the 76ers must release someone to clear a roster spot.
