The Utah Jazz has made quite a few movements this season. Among them was the exchange of John Collins for Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love. Although there has been a lot of buzz about love since the trade, it is surprising that there has been Absolutely nothing On Anderson.
It is not as if Anderson is an outcome of a player, but he is a proven Playoff veteran, who has played for a number of excellent teams over the years, such as the San Antonio Spurs during the end of the Kawhi Leonard era, together with the Minnesota Timberwolves when they made their first Western -Feensence.
Anderson comes from a season in which he helps an average of 5.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 while he shoots almost 47% and 35.7% from a three -point range with the Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat. He is a solid two -way wing that has received several multi -year contracts for a reason.
The style of Anderson is quite unorthodox, hence the nickname “SLO-MO”, but it works, and teams add him because they believe he can help them win. Jazz, on the other hand, added him to let the money work in a Collins deal. In addition, there is really no reason for him to be in the team. Utah already has Ace Bailey, Cody Williams and Brice Sensabaugh to develop.
Although it is good to have veterans on the Roster who can guide the youth, the jazz already has a few and Anderson has a team -friendly deal. And yet no teams asked him since Utah has acquired him. At least nobody we know.
…Why?
It would all be in the world for a competition to ask him for him, but apparently no one called. Anderson would not only fit a play-off competition, but if he does not train, the team can abandon his contract after the 2025-26 season is over.
It is not as if the jazz does not deal with this before, because nobody really has offered anything of value for Collins, Collin Sexton or Jordan Clarkson
Now it is easier to acquire Anderson
An explanation for why nobody asked about Anderson is because he had a commercial restriction when Jazz acquired him on July 7. Now that the two months are over, Anderson can be traded together with someone else in the schedule of Utah.
Teams may have waited until Anderson could be taken over with someone else to load for their play -off run. Players such as Love, KJ Martin, Jusuf Nurkic and SVI Mykhailiuk can be added to a team, together with Anderson, looking for damage.
It is clear that this is not a question that was taken care of immediately, but now that there is a limitation less for Anderson, do not be surprised if there are more rumors about his availability in the near future. It should be because it remains mystifying that no one apparently called about him.
