Late last Wednesday night, reports surfaced that the Jazz traded the rugged Patrick Beverley to the Lakers for the formerly untouchable Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson.
While it may be disappointing to some that the Sixers missed out on the grit king in Beverley, this move — along with the blockbuster trades of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell — shows the Jazz are very open for business.
And if former Sixth Man of the year Jordan Clarkson becomes available, the Sixers should absolutely pounce — though it could be a bit tricky.
Utah still has coveted veteran trade asserts, including Bojan Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley Jr.
