The Phoenix Suns have interest in trading for Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic, Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro reported Thursday evening. Phoenix reportedly reached out to the Jazz about the 33-year-old following Utah’s trade of All-Star Donovan Mitchell to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. The Jazz are rebuilding after dealing Mitchell and All-Star center Rudy Gobert this offseason, but they still have tradable veteran pieces on the roster.

You always need to bear in mind team fit and actually watch the film to know for sure, but for those wondering about the potential trade-off from Bojan Bogdanovic’s offense to defense, the picture The Bball Index paints is…not great! pic.twitter.com/diHZjh4TVg3:45 AM

The Jazz are nowhere close to done as they kick off their full-scale rebuild. Multiple veterans will likely be shipped out over the next few months:
Bojan Bogdanovic
Jordan Clarkson
Mike Conley
Malik Beasley
Rudy Gay – 4:18 PM

Players Utah could still trade:
Bojan Bogdanovic: Worth a protected 1st-rounder
Jarred Vanderbilt: Worth a protected 1st-rounder
Jordan Clarkson: Worth a protected 1st-rounder
Mike Conley: Seconds+salary filler
Lauri Markkanen: Seconds+salary filler
More assets likely incoming. – 4:04 PM

The Lakers, I’m told, continue to hold firm on their position that they will agree to surrender both of their future firsts in the same deal only if the trade makes them a certified contender. Does a three-teamer that routes, say, Utah’s Bojan Bogdanović and New York’s Evan Fournier to the Lakers rise to that level? -via marcstein.substack.com / August 28, 2022
