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 suffered disappointing, early playoff exits in 2022. The Jazz lost in six games to the Dallas Mavericks, who were without Luka Doncic the first three games of the series.
The Nets suffered a sweep at the hands of the Boston Celtics after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Play-In Tournament.
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.
