5 Jazz players who could be on their A-Game for the NBA Cup
The team that wins the NBA Cup wins $500,000. While that doesn't sound like much, five particular Jazz players could stand to make such a big amount.

Svi Mykhailiuk
Even though he didn't play much, Svi Mykhailiuk is coming off an NBA championship and will likely get a legitimate flyer as a rotation player in Utah. However, he's in the same boat as Juzang. After signing a four-year contract, only the first is guaranteed.
Mykhailiuk will make a little more than Juzang, making $3.5 million, and if the Jazz keep guaranteeing his contract after that, he gets paid a little more. While that remains up in the air, getting that extra half million added to his current contract would help Svi feel more comfortable with the notion that he may be only a one-year flyer after spending the last several seasons being precisely that.
