NBA trading rumors: Updates about Jordan Clarkson, PJ Tucker and Jalen Hood-Schifino

On February 6, 2025By Littum

Marc Stein added some new insights in the Utah Jazz Trade Deadline situation in his Latest Substack.

From Stein:

The jazz, of course, also absorbed Jalen Hood-Schifino as part of Luka Dončić/Anthony Davis Blockbuster and could use Hood-Schifino’s expiring salary of $ 3.9 million before Thursday’s trading building. The jazz is also expected to continue to welcome trade interest both John Collins and Jordan Clarkson.

This along with the revelation that Hardy has not spoken to Jalen Hood-Schifino yet makes it look like they are definitely looking for offers as the trade deadline weaves.

Will Hardy said he has not talked to Jalen Hood-Schifino since the trade … which is possibly a sign of jazz’s plans with him.

What is from this is Utah that lets it be known across the league that John Collins and Jordan Clarkson are available. It seems that jazz is more interested in holding Collin Sexton and definitely Walker Kessler at this time. But if a team brings a big offer to either, jazz will listen. It has to be somewhat incredible at this time for Utah to trade Walker Kessler, who looks like an intregal part of the team moving on.

Utah Jazz prefers to keep Walker Kessler and it would take an important package to move him per day. Jake Fischer.

Walker Kessler has not only returned to his old self, but he has improved. There have been many calls for the young stud, and Utah Jazz has shut them down. pic.twitter.com/R36LC4TCCT
