THE Utah Jazz They haven’t really made their “big game hunting” roster move yet this summer, but we’ve still seen a fair share of adjustments to this team as they enter what will be the third year of their rebuild since the trades of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
As the Jazz approach the start of their 2024-25 campaign, their depth chart is expected to look a bit different than last year, with many players at the bottom of the roster finding new opportunities elsewhere, or simply being let go by the front office going forward.
Much of the turnover comes from players who saw significant playing time last year, which could make this year’s player pool noticeably different from just one offseason of trades.
Here’s a full list of last year’s Jazz players who won’t be on the roster for the 2024-25 season, and where they’ve ended up over the past few months:
Darius Bazley: unrestricted free agent
Kris Dunn: Signed a three-year, $16 million contract with the The Los Angeles Clippers. He was part of a three-team trade to send Russell Westbrook to the Jazz, who was later released.
Talen Horton-Tucker: unrestricted free agent
Kira Lewis Jr.: Unrestricted Free Agent
Kenneth Lofton Jr.: Signed Exhibit 10 contract with The Chicago Bulls.
Luka Samanic: Signed a one-year contract with Turkish club Fenerbahce.
Omer Yurtseven: in talks to sign with Greek club Panathinaikos.
In place of those players on the Jazz roster last season, we’ve seen Utah bring in a mix of young and veteran talent, headlined by names like Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski and even names like 2015 NBA champion Patty Mills.
This team may not be equipped to make a deep playoff run next season, but they still appear to have made some progress in their rebuild over the summer, and may be able to put together a competitive group of players sooner rather than later.
