Bojan Bogdanovic has been seeking a contract extension, sources tell Marc Stein, which is believed to have cooled his trade market when the Utah Jazz looked to move him. Some teams were dissuaded from more strongly pursuing Bogdanovic.

The Detroit Pistons acquired Bogdanovic with what was a less than expected offer.

Bogdanovic is on a $19.3 million expiring contract.

The Pistons could flip Bogdanovic before the trade deadline, but they want to evaluate what they first in case they remain in play-in contention.

The Los Angeles Lakers have two attractive trade assets available to them in their first round picks in 2027 and 2029, which they have yet to use to upgrade their roster.

"I've been told that, listen, had the Lakers been able to acquire Kyrie Irving," said Dave McMenamin on Brian Windhorst's podcast. "Or the Lakers been able to acquire Donovan Mitchell, both those players, the Lakers were willing to able to move both those picks to acquire.

"The deals available to them, they didn't feel like they could get back a player that is such a difference maker like either of those two."

The Lakers have also been linked with trade scenarios involving Buddy Hield and Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers. 

The Brooklyn Nets decided not to trade Irving, while the Utah Jazz received far more draft capital for Mitchell from the Cleveland Cavaliers than the Lakers could trade.

The Detroit Pistons have agreed to acquire Bojan Bogdanovic from the Utah Jazz for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee.

The Jazz have entered a full rebuild mode and were widely expected to trade Bogdanovic before the start of the season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for Donovan Mitchell despite how it impacts their ability to sign Evan Mobley to a full, five-year max out of his rookie contract due to existing collective bargaining agreement rules.

The way Cleveland was impacted by that rule reportedly led to speculation on the part of the New York Knicks, who were also pursuing a trade for Mitchell, that the Cavs wouldn't present an all-in offer to the Utah Jazz because of it. 

"Frankly, I think when the Knicks were negotiating against the Cavs, the Knicks knew that the Cavs were bidding against them," said Brian Windhorst. "The Knicks, I think, thought they were bidding against themselves. And I think one of the reasons why the Knicks weren't 100 percent certain the Cavs were going to go all-in is because they were saying, 'Well, the Cavs can't trade for Donovan Mitchell because it will handcuff them on Evan Mobley.'"

If the rule doesn't change as part of the next CBA, the Cavaliers can either sign Mobley to a four-year extension, or wait for his restricted free agency to sign him to a five-year max contract.

The Cavaliers ultimately decided the upside of trading for Mitchell was worth all of their draft capital plus whatever consequences come from making the Mobley long-term deal more complicated. 

Micah Potter agreed to a two-way deal with the Utah Jazz, reported Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The Athletic. 

Potter appeared in three games for the Pistons last season.

The Jazz also agreed to a deal with Cody Zeller earlier in the day. 

Cody Zeller has agreed to sign with the Utah Jazz. 

Zeller spent last season with the Portland Trail Blazers, appearing in 27 games and averaging 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 13.1 minutes.

The Phoenix Suns have been active in trade discussions this month with Jae Crowder a possible outgoing player. 

The Suns are already in the luxury tax so there are questions on whether they will have the authority to spend more money given the suspension of Robert Sarver.

"Active," said Brian Windhorst when asked how active the front office of the Suns has been over the past 30 days. "And very active within this last week. They are conducting business. They are in trade negotiations right now. A lot of them are centered around Jae Crowder.

"Jae Crowder is a player who is available on the market right now. Whether or not there's going to be a deal for him that materializes before now and [the start of training camp], that we'll have to wait and see. Jae Crowder is a guy on the last year of his contract. It's possible they can do a deal that would bring back more money on. Folks I'm talking to don't get the sense the Suns are afraid to spend. They may be spending more. It would not surprise me if the Suns get involved in the negotiations for Bojan Bogdanovic, from the Utah Jazz who is available on the market right now. Several teams are bidding for him. Also, they are negotiating from what I've been told, with Cam Johnson on a contract extension."

The Utah Jazz have waived Xavier Sneed from his Two-Way contract. Utah also waived the recently signed Paris Bass from his non-guaranteed training camp deal.

Sneed appeared in nine games between the Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies last season. The 6-foot-5 wing played in 15 G League games between the Salt Lake City Stars and the Greensboro Swarm. Sneed averaged 15.1 and 6.2 rebounds in the G League. He signed a two-year Two-Way deal with Utah in mid-February.

Bass was signed and almost immediately waived by the Jazz. This set of transactions was designed for Utah to acquire Bass' G League rights. He's expected to play for Salt Lake City during this upcoming G League season.

After trading Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, the Utah Jazz are exploring the trade market for the remaining veterans on their roster. Utah has talked trades with rival teams involving Bojan Bogdanovic, Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Rudy Gay and Malik Beasley.

In particular, the Jazz have held ongoing talks with the Los Angeles Lakers surrounding Bojan Bogdanovic. The veteran forward averaged 18.1 points on 45/39/86 shooting splits a season ago.

Utah and Los Angeles have already linked up for one deal this offseason. The Lakers sent Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Jazz in exchange for Patrick Beverley. Landing Bogdanovic would go a long way towards adding depth to the Lakers rotation.

The challenge is Los Angeles may find it difficult to match salary in a trade for Bogdanovic. In part, that may be why Utah isn't close to trading Bogdanovic at this time.

The Utah Jazz have signed forward Paris Bass. 

Bass (6-8, 200, Detroit-Mercy) joins the Jazz after most recently spending the 2021-22 season with the Phoenix Suns and the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. With the Suns, he appeared in two games, averaging 3.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 3.5 minutes per contest and with South Bay posted averages of 17.4 points, 7.0 boards, 1.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in 26 games (one start).

The native of Birmingham, Mich., has additional professional experience playing in the BSN of Puerto Rico with Atleticos de San German in 2019-20 and 2020-21. During the 2020-21 season, he posted averages of 22.9 points on 50.1 percent from the field, along with 9.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.3 steals in 34.4 minutes per contest. During the 2016-17 season, he competed for the Erie BayHawks of the G League, appearing in 15 games, and averaging 3.9 points and 2.7 rebounds.
