Jazz openly peddled the expiring contract player or plays a middle-party role in the Durant deal

reporter Evan sidery posted a message saying that he believes it is necessary to pay attention to the Jazz's possible role as a middleman in the Durant trade.

Evan Sidery wrote: "The Jazz have salary flexibility and can take on contracts that other teams are unwilling to bear in exchange for future draft picks, and they are publicly selling the following players with expired contracts: Collins, Sexton and Clarkson. At the same time, the Jazz are willing to play the role of the middle party in the trading market, both using salary space to take over chips and revitalize assets by selling off due contracts."

Previously, it was reported that the Lakers and Jazz have already held trading discussions centered around Collins, and the plan also involves Hachimura. The Mavericks are considered Sexton's potential next home, and the Jazz is working very hard to trade him and Clarkson.

At present, the trade about Durant is still in a stalemate. It is reported that many teams in the league believe that the Heat are close to completing Durant's trade, and adding rookie Wealth to the bargaining chips may be the last step in reaching an agreement.
