Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal
Here’s a better question: why shouldn’t the Jazz trade for Lillard?
Does he need a co-star? No problem. Lauri Markkanen has been sensational this season. If he makes an All-NBA team, it won’t come as a shock.
Do they need shooters? The Jazz have plenty. A defensive anchor? Walker Kessler is already built for the job. This is a surprisingly complete basketball team.
All they’re missing is a bonafide superstar. Lillard would complete the team.
