4 players the Jazz could acquire with the $7.98 million room exception

The Jazz still have the room exception that they could use to acquire an expendable player, but who could they look into?

4. Derrick Rose - Memphis Grizzlies - $3,356,271

To be fair, this is only being proposed for comedic purposes. In an offseason where the Jazz brought Russell Westbrook back only to waive him much like they did back in 2023, wouldn't it be funny to see them do the same with Rose?

This would be contingent on the Grizzlies trading Rose in the hopes of saving them money, which has yet to be confirmed. Anyway, if they go that route, the Jazz could bring Rose back to give him the same treatment they did back when they acquired him in 2018.

Of all these candidates, Rose is by far the least likely, but it is funny to think about getting Deja Vu twice in the same offseason.
