7 HRS AGO - Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images Does the 33 year old sharpshooter have strong value on the trade market? After multiple short, action-packed, and unorthodox off-seasons, we’ve returned to a tradition (and highly uneventful) August month in the annual NBA cycle. Bottlenecked by potential blockbuster trades involving stars Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Durant, the NBA trade market finds itself in a serious drought. Yet as we near the start of training camp in late September, it's an inevitability that pressures to acquire more talent will fall on teams across the league (looking at you, New York Knicks). Until then, we can only speculate on what kind of deals may happen before the first tip-off of the 2022-23 season. So speculate we will! The Utah Jazz will likely commence on their first rebuild since the 2013-14 season, and are poised to sit as one of the largest sellers in the NBA market. Outside of Donovan Mitchell, the bulk of Utah’s tradable assets fall on the wrong Collapse

8/8/2022 - Photo by Zach Beeker/NBAE via Getty Images The Jazz are filling out next year’s roster with players from unusual places According to Chris Haynes, the Utah Jazz have signed Paris Haynes of the South Bay Lakers to a one-year deal. The terms of the deal haven’t been revealed. Free agent forward Paris Bass has reached an agreement on a one-year deal with the Utah Jazz, his agent Daniel Hazan of @hazansportsmgmt tells @YahooSports.— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) August 7, 2022 Bass has played multiple years overseas and most recently signed with the South Bay Lakers last season. For the South Bay Lakers Bass played 27.2 MPG and scored 17.3 PPG while shooting 44% from the field and 31% from three with 1.6 assists. He also grabbed 7 RPG with 1.4 steals. Bass has good size at 6-8 and seem like a player that has a chance to impact NBA games if he can get some consistency with his numbers. When you watch his highlights you can see a player with smooth game, definitely worth Collapse

8/4/2022 - Photo by David Dow/NBAE via Getty Images Utah Jazz basketball is coming back soon! The Utah Jazz announced their preseason schedule today and it will start off in Edmonton, Alberta as part of the NBA Canada Series against the Toronto Raptors. Utah Jazz PR Utah Jazz 2022-23 Preseason Schedule Count me in as an ignorant American, but Alberta is on the western side of Canada and should be a fun venue to start off the preseason. “We’re excited to be featured in the preseason NBA Canada Series,” said Jazz General Manager Justin Zanik. “It is a unique opportunity for our organization to engage with the league’s Canadian fans in Edmonton. Our players and staff are looking forward to it.” The Jazz then go to Portland which makes sense with its relative proximity to Alberta. Then the Jazz will see nearly a week off before they return home to face the Spurs and the Mavericks. There’s some huge questions coming into this preseason for the Utah Jazz, who are in Collapse

7/29/2022 - Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images The Utah Jazz roster is still molding and this will update as changes happen The Utah Jazz roster is in complete flux after the Rudy Gobert trade that sent shockwaves throughout the NBA. You can bet that there will be more moves and as those moves happen, we’ll update this for future reference. As it stands, Donovan Mitchell is still on this roster and, if training camp started today, he would be there. With all the rumored Donovan Mitchell trade talk happening, it feels more like we’re waiting to see when the trade happens rather than if. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned in Danny Ainge’s short time in Utah, he’s got the patience necessary to make the trade happen that he wants. It’s very possible we see Donovan Mitchell in a black and yellow Jazz jersey next season. The other interesting thing with this Jazz roster is how many different players we’ll be seeing. Utah received 5 players in the deal for Rudy Gobert and, as of right Collapse

7/20/2022 - Photo by Brian Sevald/NBAE via Getty Images The Jazz have gone head-long into a rebuild. Will it work? Danny Ainge, Justin Zanik, and the rest of the Utah Jazz front office have determined that it is time to start over. After trading Rudy Gobert for a package including a sizable amount of draft picks, the Jazz seem intentioned to do the same with Donovan Mitchell. They’ll likely follow that path with all of the veteran players they can. Jazz CEO Danny Ainge and GM Justin Zanik agreed with Rudy Gobert's opinion that Utah's win-now window had closed. Zanik: "We fell short, so we need to recalibrate and try to go and open up the next window and hopefully it’s a long one. We’ve got work to do to start that."— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) July 9, 2022 So does this mean that Utah is tanking? Yes. It probably does. Danny Ainge is intentionally clearing Utah’s roster of talented players that fit a team trying to win now and replacing them with young players and draft picks. Collapse

7/17/2022 - Photo by David Dow/NBAE via Getty Images It’s a been in interesting summer league with the Jazz getting better looks at their young, developing talent In their final summer league game, the Utah Jazz will take on the Denver Nuggets. Utah will come into this game having rested most of their important prospects last game . The Jazz will likely not be too interested in the outcome of this one, but may be interested in the Knicks game, which has Utah’s future players is the championship game of summer league. Having signed Johnny Juzang recently, and now Simone Fontechio, the Jazz are closing in on a final roster. But more signings probably depends on what happens with Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike Conley. A game like this today is a final chance for players looking to make the Jazz roster can make an impression on the team.

7/16/2022 - Photo by Bart Young/NBAE via Getty Images Johnny Juzang has a chance to be a rotation player in the NBA with his combination of talent and skill The Utah Jazz signed Johnny Juzang to a two-way contract, details of the contract were not released. Juzang picked up by the team on draft night and has shown promise in his short time with the team. Juzang has a nice stroke and has shown it off in summer league with a nice shooting stroke and an ability to do a variety of things while he's on the floor. We’ll see how he develops now that he has the two-way contract, there’s a lot of reasons to like his potential. Being 6’7” right off the bat makes Juzang a solid prospect. It’s interesting that Juzang went undrafted in the recent draft, because he was slated to be drafted the year before but decided to go back to college after seeing where he’d be drafted. He returned to UCLA where he helped lead the Bruins to the sweet 16. In college, Juzang showed an ability to score in a myriad of Collapse

Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Trade talks are happening between the Utah Jazz and the New York Knicks According to Tony Jones and Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz have begun trade talks with the New York Knicks for Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz and Knicks have started talks in a deal that would bring Donovan Mitchell to New York, League Sources tell myself and @ShamsCharania - https://t.co/pT8m93pR5F— Tony Jones (@Tjonesonthenba) July 14, 2022 According to Tony Jones, the Jazz have had discussions with multiple teams (likely spurred by the recent Woj tweet about the Jazz being open for business with Mitchell.) After previously shutting down inquiries on moving All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, rival teams say the Utah Jazz are showing a willingness to listen on possible trade scenarios, sources tell ESPN.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 12, 2022 From Jones’ article he writes: The Jazz are having conversations with multiple teams on a Mitchell Collapse

7/13/2022 - Photo by Jeff Bottari/NBAE via Getty Images It’s time for the Jazz to take on a quality young team In another summer league showdown in Las Vegas, the Utah Jazz will have their hands full against a talented young roster in the Toronto Raptors. In this game, the Utah Jazz will have everyone available so they should be able to give time to the players they want to. Utah Jazz have nothing on their injury report for their upcoming LVSL game vs. the Raptors.— Eric Walden (@tribjazz) July 13, 2022 The last game was a mixed bag for Jared Butler who played with great control and pace (10 assists) but didn’t shoot it well. If he plays tonight, it would be great to see him figure out how to improve those shooting numbers while also having a high impact on the game.
