SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz have made two more transactions ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline, acquiring guard Lonzo Ball from the Cleveland Cavaliers, and sending center Jock Landale to the Atlanta Hawks.
The Jazz are also receiving two second-round picks from the Cavaliers while taking on the remainder of Ball’s one-year, $10 million salary. According to multiple reports, the team will waive Ball.

In order to complete the Ball trade, the Jazz needed to make room on the 15-man roster, and did so by sending Landale to the Hawks for cash considerations.
Londale was acquired by the Jazz in Tuesday’s blockbuster that sent Jaren Jackson Jr. to Utah for Georges Niang, Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Walt Clayton Jr., and three first-round picks.
