Jazz do Celtics yet another massive favor at the trade deadline

Even though the Utah Jazz acquired Jaren Jackson Jr. two days ago, it should come as no surprise that they don't intend to add any more legitimate win-now talent. That was signaled yesterday when they acquired Lonzo Ball, whom they intend to waive.

It's in the Jazz's best interest to lose games from here on out, so it's not surprising if they add players who won't change their current landscape much. So while it's not surprising that they acquired someone like Chris Boucher, who should get a flyer but hasn't really shown much, some fans may roll their eyes at the fact that they just did the Boston Celtics another favor.
