As the NBA season wears on, we’re getting a clearer picture of where the league’s teams really stand.
After all, off-season projections only count for so much. We’re working with limited information. Sometimes, a team looks better on paper than they are in practice – or worse.
For example, the Utah Jazz were supposed to be tanking this season. Yet, a quarter of the way through the season, they sit 8th in the Western Conference. If this team wanted to, they could make a trade that improved their win-now prospects.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls were supposed to be competitive. Unfortunately, at 11-15, they sit 11th in the Eastern Conference.
For that reason, some expect them to be sellers leading up this season’s trade deadline.
Could they make a move for the Jazz’s Collin Sexton?
