Utah has so far signaled an intent to keep breakout star forward Lauri Markkanen plus franchise favorite Jordan Clarkson, and have established a high asking price for Jarred Vanderbilt, sources told Yahoo Sports, leaving Malik Beasley and Kelly Olynyk, along with Conley, as the obvious veterans the Jazz could move before the Feb. 9 trade deadline. Olynyk is known to be a favorite of Ainge.

Jordan Clarkson and Jarred Vanderbilt handing out Thanksgiving dinners to families in West Valley today.
Vanderbilt wasn’t scheduled to come but heard JC was doing charity work and took it on himself to come help.

Jordan Clarkson on the 4Q: The block/charge was a tough call. They didn’t give us a great explanation, either. … But we can’t leave it to those moments. – 1:30 AM

Lauri Markkanen on 4Q: We had some turnovers, they got some off rebs which led to some easy ones. Proud that we adjusted in 3Q to give ourselves a chance. But we’ll need to watch film of that 4Q. – 1:23 AM

Jazz take control of the game by beating the Clippers in possession game. They have 6 more offensive rebounds and 3 more takeaways entering 4th quarter, now lead 93-88 after outscoring LA by 15 points in 3rd quarter. 12 of that came with Kawhi on bench.
Jordan Clarkson = 6/7 FTs – 12:16 AM

Jazz go on a run at the end of the 3rd and head into the 4th with a 93-88 lead. Lauri Markkanen has 23 pts, Jordan Clarkson has 22.
Kelly Olynyk probably set to check back in, was in a little foul trouble and I think Hardy was saving him/happy with how the group was playing – 12:15 AM

Jordan Clarkson leads Utah with 17 points. Lauri Markkanen has 12 and Collin Sexton has 10….Sexton struggled to make plays for others but scored and touched the paint well. I thought he was a factor in the Jazz getting back into the game – 11:40 PM

It’s “Filipino Heritage Night” here at Crypto Place. For some reason, it feels like it’s always “Filipino Heritage Night” at road arenas whenever the Jazz (and Jordan Clarkson) are in town. – 10:51 PM

More on this storyline
Malik Beasley: We want to destroy everybody. Our main thing is having fun while we’re playing. We play way better when we’re just playing. If you watch the film, a lot of the stuff we draw up is straight off reads, and there aren’t always set plays. Coach Hardy has a foundation for what we want to do. Me and Jordan Clarkson move around the perimeter a lot and cut sometimes. Lauri Markkanen cuts all the time. Vanderbilt sets good screens. If it’s serious and we try to play in the half court and be perfect, that’s when we don’t win games. All of our losses have been when we try to be too perfect. Everybody has their role and knows what they’re supposed to be doing. -via HoopsHype / November 23, 2022
Ryan Miller: Jordan Clarkson is handing out 200 Thanksgiving dinners today at Valley Jr. High in West Valley -via Twitter @millerjryan / November 22, 2022
Eric Walden: Hardy also cites the importance of Jordan Clarkson being a playmaker tonight. Praised the job he did in the Memphis game that Conley sat out, as well as his play down the stretch of the Portland game where Conley got hurt. -via Twitter @tribjazz / November 21, 2022
Malik Beasley: The expectation with us going into the season was we were all underdogs. Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and Jarred Vanderbilt. Me and Jarred came from playoff teams. I’m not saying we were the main factors, but we did play a nice part in changing Denver into a playoff team and then Minnesota. When we came in, we heard what was expected out of us to be a tanking team, but a lot of the guys in the locker room during training camp said, “Let’s be great.” We have a nice team. If we put it together the right way, we could be really good. To start off, none of us had egos. We all wanted to prove that we’re a special team. -via HoopsHype / November 23, 2022
