Utah Jazz shooting guard Jordan Clarkson has been constantly finding his name in trade chatter, and that’s going to continue, especially with the NBA offseason just around the corner. With Clarkson about to hit 32 in June with a contract that is set to expire in 2026, the former Missouri Tigers star guard could be someone the Jazz are seriously considering in a trade move in the summer.
Will the Utah Jazz move Jordan Clarkson?
According to Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports, Clarkson is an asset the Jazz have special interest in trading away for some building blocks soon.
“The Jazz are expected to make Jordan Clarkson available on the trade market. After renegotiating and extending his contract, Clarkson is owed only $14 million annually over the next two seasons. Utah could fetch additional draft capital from contenders in need of scoring punch.”
Clarkson’s a plug-and-play asset that a championship contender could add to its roster without a long-term commitment to an aging player who also would come with a reasonable asking price from the Jazz, who just won 31 games against 51 losses in the 2023-24 NBA regular season.
In four and a half seasons with the Jazz, Clarkson has averaged 15.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.7 steals per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from behind the arc. He isn’t the most efficient player on offense in the league, but Clarkson is someone who can be relied upon by his team to always make things happen on the court.
