Utah Jazz trade deadline update: 3 players to watch

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2024 NBA trade deadline. SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA’s trade deadline is fast approaching and the Utah Jazz have been one of the busiest teams in talks. Unlike Olynyk, Clarkson’s contract isn’t currently as easy for other teams to handle, which is why Clarkson could stay in Salt Lake City. When you combine that affordable contract with Clarkson’s ability on offense, it’s not difficult to imagine playoff teams and contender types willing to part with some value for him. Utah’s starting small forward has emerged as a serious trade target for two contending teams, according to multiple league sources: the Phoenix Suns and the Boston Celtics.
