Trade rumors have been surrounding the Utah Jazz since last summer. However, these were mere speculations, exploratory conversations and commercial proposals that never reached anything greater. Until now.
According to journalist Andy Larsen, from the media Salt Lake Tribunethe Salt Lake City management has started the commercial machinery and has set the players they will try to transfer before the market closes: John Collins, Collin Sexton, Talen Horton-Tucker, Jordan Clarkson and Kelly Olynyk.
The Jazz began the season with the intention of competing and fighting for the playoffs, but the poor results obtained have convinced the executive leadership of the need to modify their approach.

In fact, the Jazz would consider, according to the same medium, Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, Walker Kessler, Ochai Agbaji and Taylor Hendricks as untouchable. Although with Danny Ainge at the helm anything is possible.
