When it seemed that the negotiations between the New York and Utah Jazz for Donovan Mitchell were cooling off, the appearance of the Los Angeles Lakers aims to extend the trade talks until September.
In fact, Jazz management has put the entire roster on the market, although no other players are expected to be released until a Mitchell deal has been finalized. Veterans like Bojan Bogdanovic and Patrick Beverley are attracting great interest in several franchises, although it will not be an easy task to reach an agreement for all the pieces of the game. roster.
The Jazz have been actively trying to find a destination for Mike Conley, but it’s very possible that he will start the season in Utah. According to the journalist HoopsHypeMike A. Scotto, the base’s high contract makes it very difficult to close a transfer for him in the near future.
Conley has another two years left on his $47 million contract. However, only fourteen of his 24 million for the 2023-24 academic year are guaranteed. Thus, the Jazz are more likely to release players like Beverley, Bogdanovic, Beasley, Clarkson or Vanderbilt before the veteran point guard.
