Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal
Let’s make one thing clear: the players the Jazz are receiving here aren’t simple throw-ins. They all have potential.
Perhaps none of them as much as Cam Reddish. With that said, he may have the lowest floor of the bunch as well. Still, following this deal, the Jazz would be in a perfect situation to allow the 22-year-old to attempt to find his way in the NBA.
Meanwhile, Immanuel Quickley may have already found his. At the very least, he appears poised for a long career as a microwave reserve scorer. If he has more in his game, Salt Lake City would be the perfect place for him to discover it.
Finally, Quentin Grimes has quickly emerged as a fan favorite in New York. He’ll be a great addition to a suddenly young Jazz squad as well. On the other hand, we haven’t even touched on the most valuable asset the Jazz are acquiring here: The draft picks.
