Although the Jazz experienced a great change in the lineup last year, but achieved an amazing result at the beginning of the season, it is still very active in the trading market.
According to the report of the reporter Fitch of Yahoo Sports on the 13th, the Jazz and the Hawk are actively discussing the use of Collins to trade Vanderbilt and Malik Bisley, but the Jazz hopes that the Hawk can add a first-round draft power to complete the deal.
Although Collins is still firmly in the position of the eagle’s starting power forward, his average performance of 13.3 points and 8.1 rebounds this season has set the worst performance since the rookie season, which has long made the eagle lose confidence and intends to trade him out as soon as possible. If Van Derby and Beasley can be exchanged, not only the position of power forward will be enough to replace, but also a lot of outside firepower will be added.
Although Clarkson, the Jazz starter shooter, has also attracted many teams to recruit interest, he is still listed as a non-sale product by the Jazz and actively wants to complete the early renewal with him.
However, Clarkson hopes that he can jump out of the contract and become a free agent this summer, and then seeks a new contract with an average annual salary of up to 20 million dollars, and refuses to renew the contract with the Jazz for the time being.
Fisch also talked about the Suns power forward Claude who has not played yet. At present, the Hornets are going to take out McDaniels and Bucks to trade Claude with Glenn Allen. Unfortunately, the Suns are still lack of interest. It seems that the Suns would rather continue to waste time to leave Claude. Even though the current Suns’ record is declining because of the main players’ successive injuries, it has fallen to the 7th in the West.
