According to a recent article from Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto, Yossi Gozlan, and Alberto De Roa, there have been conversations with the Utah Jazz between several NBA franchises regarding trading for forward Jarred Vanderbilt. The 23-year-old forward is currently playing on a contract with one more season beyond this one that sees the Kentucky alum earn $4.3 million this season and $4.7 next. Would it make sense for the Boston Celtics to pursue him in a trade?
Per Hoops Hype, “Utah has given the indication that it would take the equivalent of a first-round pick” to trade for Vanderbilt, which sounds like an eminently affordable ask given the switchy 6-foot-9 swingman is logging 8.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and a steal per game while shooting 34.5% from deep.
