As the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline inches closer, here are three reasons why the Utah Jazz should look to make a deal to before the clock runs out.

With the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline just over a week away, rumors have continued to swirl whether or not the Utah Jazz will look to stand pat or make a move before Feb. 7.

After already making a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers to acquire sharpshooter Kyle Korver earlier in the season, Utah may look to make another move at the deadline as it prepares for a postseason run.

Leading up to the trade deadline thus far, the Jazz have been tied to a few names thought to be on the market and available in trade talks, including the likes of Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker — which you can read more about here — and Washington Wizards wing Otto Porter Jr. — which you can read more about here.

As the deadline continues to inch closer and the clock starts to run out before teams can make a move, let’s take a look at three reasons why Utah should go out and make a move to acquire another useful piece before the deadline officially passes.
