Surprising move by the management of the Utah Jazz signing Jaren Jackson Jr and turning the NBA market upside down. No one expected something like this, making it a truly bold decision by a franchise eager to compete at the highest level and seemingly willing to build a tremendous interior game... Could this signing anticipate the departure of other players?

What is clear is that Utah Jazz completely shatters any hope in the project of a Grizzlies team that will opt for reconstruction, after being willing to part ways with their great reference. With Morant also gone, Salt Lake City's team has eliminated a competitor and gained a world-class player in his position. It is anticipated that Lauri Markkanen will form an interior duo with him, but it is important to remember that Walker Kessler also belongs to this team.

Everything indicates that they will take advantage of the emergence of Keyonte George, with the guard being an essential piece in the project, but they will have to make key decisions for their future regarding that trio of interior players. The Finnish player or the injured Kessler could be interesting bargaining chips to enhance the squad's depth and provide more bite to the exterior game, where they trust that Ace Bailey will gradually develop and ultimately become a star.
