Shams Charania: Jazz officials and Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul finalized the buyout Monday, allowing Clarkson to join a contender in July ahead of more cap space teams next summer.
Andy Larsen: The Jazz would like to trade Jordan Clarkson but there is next to no interest on the trade market right now. Simply has not had a very good last two seasons and is on the wrong side of the age curve.
The Jazz also have internal decisions to make with their current backcourt. Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson are entering the final year of their contracts and are considered trade candidates to monitor this summer, sources tell RG. A contending team seeking an instant scoring punch would be the strongest fit for either Sexton or Clarkson, and Utah has explored scenarios. The Jazz will be a team to keep an eye on ahead of free agency as a result.
Bobby Marks: Collins joins Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton on expiring contracts next season. Nearly $60M+

Tony Jones: The Jazz are going to try pretty hard to move sexton and Clarkson this summer. As for John, I think the Jazz are also open to moving him but his contract now holds a bit more value
NetEase Games’ Dunk Dynasty launched last week and has already garnered more than 1 million players for its streetball hoops game that carries licenses from the NBA and NBPA. After its first week, the publisher said Dunk Dynasty ranks atop the App Store game download charts in the U.S. and top downloads among all apps in several other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, a hotbed of basketball fandom (it helps that Jazz G Jordan Clarkson, who is part Filipino, helped promote the game).
The first issue, the one curated by Mr. Wade, is dedicated to basketball and features 10 different cover models — among them, Cameron Brink, Jalen Green, Spike Lee, Jordan Clarkson, Giorgio Armani and Mr. Wade himself, all in fashion labels like Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and Fear of God, photographed by names like Mario Sorrenti, Quil Lemons and Nick Knight.
Of course, if Clarkson had his way, he would stay in Utah, remain on the Jazz and be a part of the team trying to win games again. “I would love to be playing meaningful basketball, winning games,” Clarkson said. “Would I love to do that here? For sure, I wouldn’t trade that for nothing. But...you don’t know what’s gonna happen in the summertime or what’s happening next season. But yeah, having a chance to win, I know I could play at a high level and play meaningful games. I think it would mean a lot to me.”
