There have been a lot of rumors swirling about what some franchises in the NBA could do this offseason. Two playoff teams are going to be involved in a lot of headlines and discussions in the Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets.

Both teams are looking at big potential changes this offseason. Utah seems ripe for a change after multiple disappointing early exits from the postseason. They have suffered some tough meltdowns that seem to signal a change needing to be made.
