Breaking down this summer’s upcoming Utah Jazz free agents, as well as the team’s salary cap outlook heading into 2022-23.
The 2021-22 Utah Jazz braved an unforgiving Western Conference to claim a 49-33 regular season record, good for the No. 5 seed heading into the postseason — and they quickly caught a stroke of matchup luck when they were paired with the Dallas Mavericks, who were forced to begin their series without Luka Dončić as he recovered from an injury.
The stage was set, but the Mavs had other plans. Jalen Brunson showed out with Dončić sidelined, and by the time Slovenian phenom made his return, Utah’s window simply narrowed. Eventually, Dallas needed six games to close out Donovan Mitchell and Co. and move on to round two. And with that comes an NBA offseason that will likely prove critical in shaping the future of the franchise, but fortunately doesn’t involve a long list of expiring contracts.
With that in mind, check out Boardroom’s full breakdown of imminent Jazz free agents, as well as a snapshot of the team’s salary cap outlook here and now.
