Don deal. As the Utah Jazz introduced another top player to the team
The Utah Jazz rumors are heating up as the NBA trade deadline approaches. The latest whispers are that the Atlanta Hawks’ Dejounte Murray and the Charlotte Hornets’ Miles Bridges are high on Danny Ainge’s list of potential targets.
“The Utah Jazz are being considered both a buyer and seller at this juncture,” Yahoo! Sports Senior NBA Reporter Jake Fischer reported on Friday. “While the Jazz are confident in rookie Keyonte George’s fitness as their point guard of the future, the Jazz have also registered interest in several veterans, including Dejounte Murray, sources said, to possibly hold the position in the interim.”
That’s not the only player the Jazz are interested in at the NBA Trade Deadline, either.
“The Jazz are also one of several teams who’ve called on Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges, league sources told Yahoo Sports, along with Detroit and Phoenix,” Fischer writes. “Bridges would have to be consulted prior to any deal, as he received a no-trade clause when he signed a qualifying offer from Charlotte.”
Utah is currently in the 10th spot in the Western Conference at 23–23. However, seeds five through 12 in the West are only separated by five games in the loss column.
