In a stunning move, they swoop in and orchestrated an all-time deal involving Jaren Jackson Jr. It is arguably the biggest news ahead of Thursday's key date, unless a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade is set to be done.
With how they went all in for the former Defensive Player of the Year, NBA insider Michael Scotto believes that the Jazz have stepped back in pursuing Austin Reaves.
"I thought they were gonna make a swing for Austin Reaves. Now, that changes the calculus a little bit for him. They tried to trade for him previously before that," Scotto said.
"It does change the dynamic a little bit going into the offseason for them. But they got better today for sure."
