Utah Jazz: 3 reasons to stand pat at 2019 NBA Trade Deadline

1. Roster continuity is rare in the NBA

Just because you can change something doesn’t mean you should, and in today’s NBA, there’s a case to be made for keeping the status quo.

Derrick Favors has been with the team since 2010, Gobert since 2013 and Joe Ingles since 2014. This is Kyle Korver’s second stint with the franchise, one he spent three consecutive seasons with from 2007-10. All of these guys have been a part of the ups and downs of this historic franchise and know what it takes to succeed in this league.

Donovan Mitchell is learning how to. Ricky Rubio got his first taste of postseason action last season and assuredly wants another after missing most of it with a hamstring injury.

Jae Crowder, while in the middle of a horrid shooting slump, has seen his fair share of postseason action, including most recently with this Jazz squad.

There’s a new rookie this year, but the remainder of the Jazz roster has been a part of the organization for at least a couple of years. That’s not common in today’s NBA. The Jazz just may be the team to break the mold, and it’s the biggest reason they should avoid a move at the trade deadline.
