Utah Jazz Could Capitalize on NBA’s Projected Trade Frenzy

Could the NBA be gearing up for an active offseason this summer?

In the eyes of executives around the league, that may very well be the case.

NBA insider Jake Fischer of The Stein Line recently shared some eye-catching comments from executives around the league, ultimately forecasting what could be an offseason filled with a vast assortment of trades and moves in the coming months.

"The Summer of Trades. That is what many teams out there are bracing for ... whether both of the aforementioned All-Stars — or neither — wind up on the open market," Stein wrote.

“It’s gonna be a crazy summer,” one Western Conference executive said. “There’s going to be a lot of movement.”

“Trades are going to be the marquee aspect because there’s a number of high-level players [available] and there aren’t really any marquee free agents,” said another team’s salary cap strategist.

One team that could take notice of that potential trend this summer might be none other than the Utah Jazz; a team that's had the ammo to make their respective trades across the past two summers, yet opting to stay conservative in their moves to instead stack up young talent, and keep building for the future ahead.

But with the landscape of this summer preparing to be one with numerous trades, it could present an opportunity for the Jazz front office to get aggressive, or even shed off a few valuable veteran pieces to keep their rebuild process going.
