Utah Jazz trade news: Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for an interesting return

According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz have traded Collin Sexton and a 2030 second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic.

So it finally happens, Utah has made a move that commits to the youth. At first glance, the move is confusing, but the pieces make some sense when you consider the direction of the Jazz.

So why would Utah do this? Well, they just drafted a guy who could develop into a potential cornerstone player. Do you really want to have Collin Sexton taking 12-14 shots from Ace Bailey or Walter Clayton Jr.
