Though the trades are fun to talk about, the most likely scenario is that the Jazz do not make a major trade at the deadline. The potential that Burke and Kanter both possess are greater than their trade values in most scenarios. The Jazz will likely hold onto them and hope they continue to develop.
However, if the Jazz do make a trade, it will likely be one involving non-core pieces. They have the salary cap space to take on someones expiring contract for a pick. Utah could also be used to take a piece as the third team in a trade. Either way, it is likely that a majority of the team is back for the February 20th, match-up against the Trailblazers.
