Four under-the-radar trade targets for the Utah Jazz
By Josh Padmore
With the trade deadline approaching quickly, the NBA has been bombarded with potential trade ideas. The Utah Jazz definitely could be one of the teams that makes a move.
The Utah Jazz have been pretty active towards the trade deadline over the last few years. Last season, they acquired Jae Crowder from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Rodney Hood. In 2016, Utah acquired Shelvin Mack from the Atlanta Hawks. Mack went on to play well for the Jazz, while Crowder is currently a key contributor for the team.
The Jazz don’t have a shot at Anthony Davis, who is the talk of the NBA due to his request to be traded by the New Orleans Pelicans. Mike Conley, who is on the trading block due to the Memphis Grizzlies’ woes, is certainly a target for the Jazz. Even the highly efficient Otto Porter Jr of the Washington Wizards could be a target, despite his lucrative contract.
Those are the big names, though, and I’m here to tell you four under-the-radar players the Jazz could target leading up to the trade deadline. They are players who could realistically get traded, but aren’t on the level of guys like Davis and Conley.
