If it seemed like things had gone somewhat quiet on the Utah Jazz trade front over the last few days, you weren’t mistaken. For a while, it appeared that the Nikola Mirotic to the Utah Jazz trade rumors were set to explode and a number of other rumors and set of players being made available ramped up speculation and high hopes among Jazz fans.
However, while the Mirotic idea may very well be alive and well behind the scenes, there’s no denying that the reported chatter has died down significantly, especially following reports that the Chicago Bulls wouldn’t budge without receiving a first round pick, something which ought to be too high an asking price for the Jazz unless protections are implemented or a third team is involved.
