Utah Jazz offseason moves
Utah Jazz made some interesting moves this offseason and it’s not even over yet. Their biggest new edition is Derrick Favors. Favors who played for the jazz in 2018 is coming back. He went to the pelicans for the 2019 season and did pretty good with them. We needed another big back up or a good PF. So either way this was a great sign.
Another big move was to re-sign Jordan Clarkson. In the playoffs he was one of the biggest scorers coming off the bench. He was really good and put up some much needed scoring when we needed it. I feel like this sign is really good and a great move by the jazz.
Next was Max Donovan Mitchell. He is our best player and scorer and shattered many records during the playoffs. He scored 57 points in a game which is the most points a player on the jazz has ever scored. A max means to give him the most money you can. It was a 5 year deal for 195 million dollars if he makes one of the all NBA teams. This is so great for the Jazz and the best contact they have made.
Now we have draft picks. With the 27th pick the jazz selected Udoko Azubukie from Kansas. He is a 7 footer and a great post up player. He can play good defense and a good scorer. That is what jazz struggled a lot with last year is filling the absence of Rudy Gobert when he was on the bench. Now we have Bookie and Favors to fill the hole. Next with the 39th pick we got Elijah Hughes from syracuse university. He is a guard that can shoot very well. He is extremely athletic and can go up and dunk it. If he can play defense better he will be a nice shooting guard coming off the bench.
Next we traded Tony Bradley to the Pistons for money. We got two other big men so this was a good move. Also we traded ed davis to the knicks to free up some cap space. These were small and simple moves but helped us sign clarkson and favors.
Yesterday the jazz unveiled their new city edition uniforms. There are like the old ones but fade to black. I love them and thing they are a very good and simple jersey. Lots of NBA teams have released new jerseys that are very good and this is one of them.
