Utah is making such strong moves as they continue to do things in a way they\u2019ve never done before. Kevin Love certainly seemed to expect that every wish would be granted, that he would simply be bought out and join whoever he wanted. Not the case with this Jazz team. Utah will certainly still work with Love to find a situation that works for both sides, but there is no hurry to do something if it doesn\u2019t make sense for the Jazz. Love also brings experience and can be a mentor for the young Jazz bigs.<\/p>\n<p>Utah Jazz waive KJ Martin<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">According to Michael Scotto, the Utah Jazz waived KJ Martin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Martin had an $8M non-guaranteed contract that is now freed up for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Utah is doing great work cleaning up their books and making sure they\u2019re free and clear with every decision they make. If I could describe the short Austin Ainge stint with the Jazz so far, I\u2019d describe it as disciplined. Utah is keeping their focus on their plan and not making hasty moves that don\u2019t fit with the long-term plan. It\u2019s extremely refreshing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Love is joining the Jazz after all According to Grant Afseth, Kevin Love will be joining the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3785],"tags":[7,423,6971,1678,3843,7057,6,5592,422,427,3972],"class_list":{"0":"post-300471","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-utah-jazz","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-jazz","10":"tag-john-collins","11":"tag-kevin-love","12":"tag-kj-martin","13":"tag-michael-scotto","14":"tag-nba","15":"tag-the-jazz","16":"tag-utah","17":"tag-utah-jazz","18":"tag-utahjazz"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115258691701398242","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
