In preparation for this week’s NBA trade deadline, here’s a look at three predictions regarding what the Utah Jazz will opt to do.

We’ve almost made it, Utah Jazz fans. The NBA trade deadline is mere days away and all of the rumors, speculation and wonderment are about to be resolved. Will players on the trade block actually be moved? Will any blockbuster trades occur? What does Dennis Lindsey have in mind for the Jazz?

These and several other questions are currently facing Jazz fans who no doubt are anxious for answers – answers that won’t tarry long in arriving.

And though the Jazz have been described by many as open for business and aiming to be active leading up to the deadline, it’s still impossible to truly guess what the organization has in mind and what transactions will actually take place. Even though a number of Jazzmen have been listed as potential trade candidates, there’s no guarantee what their fate will be or how interested opposing teams truly are in what Utah has to offer.

Even so, I’ve decided to try my hand at seeing the future here and have come up with three predictions that I believe will match up with what Utah decides to do in a few short days.
