After trading Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, the Utah Jazz are exploring the trade market for the remaining veterans on their roster. Utah has talked trades with rival teams involving Bojan Bogdanovic, Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Rudy Gay and Malik Beasley.
In particular, the Jazz have held ongoing talks with the Los Angeles Lakers surrounding Bojan Bogdanovic. The veteran forward averaged 18.1 points on 45/39/86 shooting splits a season ago.
Utah and Los Angeles have already linked up for one deal this offseason. The Lakers sent Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Jazz in exchange for Patrick Beverley. Landing Bogdanovic would go a long way towards adding depth to the Lakers rotation.
The challenge is Los Angeles may find it difficult to match salary in a trade for Bogdanovic. In part, that may be why Utah isn’t close to trading Bogdanovic at this time.
