Jae Crowder & Jordan Clarkson Get Moved

Utah Jazz Receive: F/C Frank Kaminsky, G Landry Shamet, 2024 Second-Round Pick (ATL), 2026 Second-Round Pick (PHO) 

Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Jae Crowder 

Phoenix Suns Receive: G Jordan Clarkson, G/F Justin Holiday 

We double-dipped on this one. 

Jae Crowder and Jordan Clarkson are both frequently found in trade rumours. Albeit, they’re in them for very different reasons. Crowder seems to have requested a trade, whereas Clarkson’s Utah Jazz simply have the incentive to trade veterans. 

This team finds them both a new home. Atlanta ought to be a suitable one for Jae Crowder. This team seems invested in improving the defence around point guard Trae Young. Crowder happens to be one of the best point-of-attack defenders in the business. 

Meanwhile, the Suns could stand to improve their guard depth. Jordan Clarkson is only a season removed from winning the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award.

Meanwhile, Justin Holiday is a solid 3-and-D guard who’ll also be an upgrade in this rotation.

As for the Jazz, they’re getting more draft capital here than they got for Bojan Bogdanovic. Given the apparent standard they’ve set for their veterans, this is a good return for Jordan Clarkson.
