There are a handful of question marks for the Utah Jazz this offseason. After another early playoff elimination, there are likely to be wholesale changes looming for the franchise.
Clarkson, who arrived in Utah during the 2019-20 season, has been a vital part of the Jazz offense for the past few years. While he's still under contract until 2022-23 with a player option for the following year, he could garner some serious interest in the trade market if made available.
Jordan Clarkson was asked about what he feels the team could carry over from the season after the Jazz were eliminated in Game 6 against the Dallas Mavericks. Safe to say he's looking to leave it all in the rearview mirror.
Via Eric Walden:
“Honestly, nothing. Two years of hurt and losing. We've gotta clear our minds of this.”
While it's clear that he and the Jazz are looking to move on, the uncertainty of whether it happens in a Jazz uniform remains.
“Shit. I don't know,” said Clarkson on what the future holds for him. “I'm going home. I was planning on going to Dallas, then Phoenix. … We had high hopes, high expectations to keep playing. It is what it is.”
Jordan Clarkson, when asked if he wanted to stay in Utah: “Yeah, I love Utah. But all that's out of my control.” He then told the media, “I appreciate you” and came around the room and gave each person a handshake.
If it were up to him, he'd prefer to stick around. But Clarkson, who's been on three teams in the past five years, knows that anything can happen in the offseason.
