Jazz Looking To Trade Veterans Before DeadlineJazz Looking To Trade Veterans Before Deadline

In the past two seasons, the Utah Jazz have waited until closer to the trade deadline to pivot towards draft position. That pivot each season was aided by trading away veteran players. This season, the Jazz won’t need to pivot, but the team is still likely to move some veteran players again.
