Jazz Trade Up w/Spurs 

Post#1 » by jredsaz » Wed May 14, 2025 7:12 am

Utah receives #2, Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes
Utah moves up to get Harper.

Spurs get #5, #21, Lauri Markkanan
Spurs add a great complement with Wemby and only drop 3 picks. And they get #21.

Had the Jazz been slotted at the 2nd pick, I fully expected them to trade it. I just don't see Harper in Utah ending well. Better to have a player who truly wants to be there.
