The Utah Jazz didn’t exactly have the flashiest of offseasons. But they remained prudent by keeping their successful 2017-18 team intact. Even though the Jazz didn’t end up adding any new faces in this year’s free agency, Dennis Lindsey and Co. have been no strangers to striking while the iron’s hot and adding fresh blood in the past.
This year’s past trade deadline was a prime example of that as Utah shipped off Rodney Hood and Joe Johnson to add Jae Crowder from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Previously, they added free agents Thabo Sefolosha, Jonas Jerebko and Ekpe Udoh, and before that, they traded to add point guard George Hill.
