But somehow, Jordan Clarkson, who along with fellow veterans Colin Sexton and John Collins was expected to be moved by the Jazz, stayed in Utah for the remainder of what had been a challenging season for the rebuilding franchise. Clarkson marked the occasion with a cryptic tweet.

The trade deadline came and went on Thursday afternoon without the Jazz moving any of the veterans in their rotation. But they did manage to grab one last second-round pick. Because, of course, they did.

Now, if you’re a person who didn’t care for those reasons or didn’t think they were good enough reasons to sign two players, you might have thought that the Jazz signed a couple of guys that wouldn’t have any trade value while also taking up two roster spots.
