The Utah Jazz decided to take a trip down memory lane yesterday when they re-acquired George Niang from the Boston Celtics. This trade was more of a salary dump, as the Celtics not only included two second-round picks, but all they got back for Niang was RJ Luis Jr. Honestly, as far as trades go, the Jazz could have done so much worse.
The Athletic's Tony Jones revealed shortly afterward that Utah acquired Niang in the first place because they wanted his veteran presence. On a roster with plenty of young talent, rebuilding teams do need a veteran or two who can help mold young talent to help them reach their potential.
