The NBA Trade Deadline is on the horizon and speculation about the Utah Jazz making moves has begun to percolate. Meanwhile, the team’s D-League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars, has been wheeling and dealing all season long. That trend continued on Thursday.
According to an announcement from the Stars, the team has acquired forward Chane Behanan from the Reno Bighorns. In return, the Bighorns received returning player rights to former Jazzman Jack Cooley.
Cooley is currently starring for MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) in Germany.
The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Behanan has played professionally in both Mexico and the D-League since going undrafted in 2014.
