Jazz expected to be active in trade market with Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, Collin Sexton
According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Utah is expected to be active in the trade market if the right deal materializes with Collin Sexton, Jordan Clarkson and John Collins. Considering Sexton has another year left on his contract and Utah has amassed 13 first-round picks over the next seven drafts, there is no urgency to move off one of its more consistent players.

I mean....the Suns' defense could definitely still tighten up here, but some of these shots Utah is hitting are tough. That last Jordan Clarkson fadeaway was ridiculous. Suns have to find a way to impose their will and get these dudes to cool off - 10:14 PM

Andy Larsen: Jazz beat the Knicks 121-106. Jazz shot 19-34 from three for the win... NYK only slightly made it competitive. Markkanen: 34 points, 11-15 FG. Sexton: 25 points, 9-14 FG. Collins: 20 points, 13 rebs. Kessler: 11 points, 10 rebs, 3 blocks, a +34. -via Twitter @andyblarsen / November 23, 2024
Hardy’s decision to call timeout as Jazz shooting guard Collin Sexton drove to the hoop deep into the fourth quarter seems like the wrong call. With a chance at a good win over a good team, Sexton had gotten a step on Los Angeles forward Rui Hachimura off the dribble and was at the rim. While making a teardrop layup at the basket, Hardy called timeout. That shot would have given the Jazz a one-point lead. Left with 2.1 seconds to work with, and with the Lakers having a chance to set their defense, Utah couldn’t get a decent look at the basket, and what could have been an emotionally uplifting win turned out to be a defeat that we are all talking about. In the locker room, Hardy looked at Sexton and essentially admitted to making a mistake. “I told him that I robbed him of a moment,” Hardy said. “He was extremely gracious after the game. He was a lot more frustrated in the moment.” -via New York Times / December 2, 2024
That’s why that timeout was such a topic — the “Should he have or shouldn’t he have?” aspect. And to be fair, it looked a lot worse live than it did with the benefit of hindsight. “My normal policy in that situation is to let the play go,” Hardy said. “It’s better to try and get a good shot in a scramble situation. But once Collin started to retreat dribble, I started calling timeout. It was obviously loud in there. The hope would be to have had a few more seconds than two. But, yeah, it’s tough.” -via New York Times / December 2, 2024
When you watch the replay, Davis heard the whistle and stopped playing. Watching the play live, it appears Sexton had an open lane to the basket. That’s not the case. Had Davis not stopped, he would have been in position to present a stiff shot-blocking challenge at the rim. But even if that happens, Utah center Walker Kessler would have been in prime position to put back a potential miss. So Davis would have had to block the shot cleanly and probably send it out of bounds, or the Jazz would still have had an advantage there. “I was definitely in position to tip the ball back in,” Kessler said. “I was right there.” -via New York Times / December 2, 2024
