Utah Jazz are hours away from the NBA Draft and their selection with the 12th pick is a top priority, but could their be a significant trade in the mix as well.
The Desert News’ Jody Genessy tweeted this earlier this morning.
There continue to be rumblings about how the Jazz want to — and can — re-acquire Paul Millsap and might trade Derrick Favors, per my source.

With hot commodity free agent Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap looking for suitors, Jazz management might trade Favors to welcome Millsap back home.
Jazz already have their center of the future and star in the making Rudy Gobert and gave Gordon Hayward big money last summer, Millsap would be the better fit with his offensive versatility and veteran experience.
Favors is a great rebounder and has developed a nice mid range jumper who could help lots of teams on both ends of the court.
The Jazz also have a key 12th pick in this draft, and along with Favors could play a huge role in the NBA Draft shake up later this evening.
