Acquired SG Josh Green and cash considerations from Minnesota Timberwolves for Fs John Konchar and Cody Williams.
Rimside Brief
The Utah Jazz enter the offseason with a 22–60 record, sitting at #15 in the Western Conference and ranked #27 in overall power. Their recent form has been poor, with a 1–9 stretch in the last ten games and a net rating of –8.3. In an effort to add depth at the guard position, the Jazz have traded forwards John Konchar and Cody Williams to the Minnesota Timberwolves, receiving shooting guard Josh Green and cash considerations in return.
Josh Green, a guard who appeared in 58 games this season, posted modest numbers of 4.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game while shooting 45.9% from the field. The Jazz will look to see whether Green can contribute more consistently in a larger role as they rebuild. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have waived forward John Konchar after acquiring him in the deal, indicating they may have had other roster plans. The trade gives Utah a young wing with shooting potential and adds financial flexibility, while the team continues to evaluate how to improve its standing in the Western Conference.
