Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Jazz shouldn’t rush to do this trade either.
They ought to hold out. Realistically, there’s still a possibility that their hot start owes more to early-season noise than any sustainable success.

Adding Durant to a core featuring Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, Jarred Vanderbilt and Kelly Olynyk would certainly make them interesting.

Sometimes, teams can surpass your expectations.
