If the Jazz/JC can't reach an extension agreement I would think he is likely to get traded, no?
According to the report, they would test free agency instead. It likely means we intend to match offers and might end up paying a high price for his services for the coming years unless he decides to walk.If the Jazz/JC can't reach an extension agreement I would think he is likely to get traded, no?
This is gonna suck like Joe Ingles all over again suckIf the Jazz/JC can't reach an extension agreement I would think he is likely to get traded, no?
Nah… we have more options in the offseason to get something done. I’m not worried about him leaving.If the Jazz/JC can't reach an extension agreement I would think he is likely to get traded, no?
I agree for the most parts.Do we really want to pay Clarkson until he's 34 or 35? I mean... he's already a pretty bad defender, and as the years pile up on the wrong side of 30, he's bound to fall off a cliff eventually. He'll probably retain his value as a spot up shooter off the bench for a long time, but guarding the 2 spot, he faces the quickest, most athletic scorers in the NBA.
It just seems like lately teams have given these aging scorers too many deals where the last two years are an unmitigated disaster.
I guess that one counter-argument would be that Lowry was the staring PG on the championship Raptors at age 33.Do we really want to pay Clarkson until he's 34 or 35?

Man, I hope you're right. Open up more time for the youngsters.He’s getting traded at the deadline for sure then.

Stein specifically noted that the Jazz hoped entering the season that they would be able to secure Clarkson, but even though they have been unable to do so thus far, it is unlikely they will trade him in the midst of a playoff race.
That last part is front office posturing to increase JC value on the trade marketI'm not so sure. From Bleacher Report:

So we’re unlikely to trade someone who doesn’t want to re-sign and can leave this off-season because we’re in the midst of making the play-in?
