In the summer of 2017, all that Jazz fans wanted out of free agency was for Gordon Hayward to re-sign with the team and remain in Utah.
One morning of leaked departure rumors, one round of unconvincing denials, one hastily written decision announcement, and one ruined Fourth of July later, and that dream was over.
What Jazz fans wound up getting in free agency instead was veteran defensive wing Thabo Sefolosha and journeyman big man-turned-EuroLeague Final Four MVP Ekpe Udoh.
Now, in the summer of 2019, both of those players are free agents, and seemingly likely to play elsewhere next season.
