Yeah, but normally the Jazz hold out to get trade value back. At this point, I'm starting to think the Jazz would let go of Clarkson, Collins and maybe even Sexton fairly cheap.

Well, Clarkson and Collins would be gone if it didn't costs stuff to get rid of them.
If we keep Sexton around because Ainge wants to squeeze every bit of value possible (as he's done before) and not because we want to give him an opportunity to be more that is a mistake IMO.

I tend to agree with you about the stars sitting thing but it would be nice to see some actual data/statistics.
Without those it's just a subjective "feels like" kinda thing.

It's not subjective. It's been objectively proven. No, I do not feel like finding the sources for you, but thank you for proving my point as you are a good representation of the average fan.
I've actually never seen anything about stars sitting more often, but the "why" doesn't matter so much. Long history of the Jazz having one of the better home court advantages due to elevation and travel. It would follow that players don't want to play here as much....just something that makes sense but I don't actually think there is any source on that. I think the biggest factor in teams resting players is simply that the other team sucks, so we'll have that on top of the elevation and travel stuff. None of these things are independent of each other.
But again, doesn't really matter why we have the big home court advantage, the fact is that we do have it and have always had it. To @fishonjazz 's point, JJJ has been out for some time. I don't think it is related to UTA whatsoever.

One of the fans that believes that teams rest their players more against us?
Cool cool

I'm not paying for a random subscription to a writer I don't know. So I wouldn't take the stats as infallible, especially without knowing what the average number of star DNP is.
My guess is that Edey will be a player that does really well when there's no game plan against him. I feel like a playoff series will be tough for him. Agreed that it will be fun to watch.

Keyonte going to drop 30 on Morant and going to abuse Edey not being able to guard up in the PNR with his pull-up 3.
Sexton going to drop 25 as T-Rex Bane struggles to contain him with his muscle hamster arms.
