As reported yesterday, the Jazz will go into tomorrow’s start of the free agency period (4 p.m. MT) as if they have cap space available; in other words, as if they have waived Derrick Favors. While they don’t have to commit to doing that until July 5, they’ll spend the next few days considering their options.
One of those: Washington Wizards F/C Bobby Portis. According to The Athletic, representatives from the Jazz’s front office plan to meet with the big man in Los Angeles once free agency starts. Portis, though, is a restricted free agent: the Jazz would have to offer him a large enough contract that the Wizards would be afraid of matching it.
