• Monson: Jazz trade softness for toughness in Rodney Hood-Jae Crowder swap

  08-02-2018 23:19
  So much for the Jazz standing fat and firm, falling foolishly in love with their recent success.A seven-game win streak was not going to lull general manager Dennis Lindsey into believing his team was whole enough — for the time being or for the seasons ahead. His immediate plan just found the on-ramp toward a more steady, secure route to the playoffs, all as he looked in his rearview at achieving something he missed on last summer.It is one more positive step on an unfinished journey.Obta

  Jae Crowder wasn’t a fan of Gordon Hayward’s courtship with Boston before it was cool.Back in January 2017, as Celtics fans cheered on the then-Jazz forward who would become a free agent that summer, Crowder fumed. He told media after the Jan. 3 game that he felt “disrespected.” Only a few months later, Hayward had indeed signed with Boston, and Crowder had been traded to the Cavaliers in what would end up an ill-fitting situation.That might be a starting place for Jazz f
