This NBA offseason has been full of reunions, most notably, Damian Lillard re-joining the Portland Trail Blazers. As it turns out, the Utah Jazz got in on the fun, as they have brought back Georges Niang for the measly price of RJ Luis Jr. Some may roll their eyes at this move, but it turns out the Jazz aren't bringing Niang back for sentimental purposes, but also for veteran leadership.
The Athletic's Tony Jones confirmed that Utah brought Niang back for his veteran presence. Not only that, but Niang has welcomed his reunion with Utah.
The Jazz are trading for Niang to have him play and add a veteran presence to their young core.
