Jordan Clarkson Rumors
Jordan Clarkson was attending a Carlos Alcaraz match at Wimbledon when his agent, Rich Paul, called with an important question. “Where you wanna go?” Paul asked. “I said, ‘I wanna come to New York,’” Clarkson recalled Saturday night. Paul then reached out to the Knicks to relay Clarkson’s interest. “It all happened in two minutes,” Clarkson said. “Then I was a Knick.”
So why did he pick New York after negotiating a buyout from the Jazz? “The arena [MSG], honestly,” Clarkson said. “Feeling the energy from the fans. Knowing they’re going to let you have it if you’re playing like s–t. But when you’re playing great, it’s all love. At the end of the day, I just want to feel the energy. Get to play with y’all [Brunson and Hart].
Chris Mannix: I don't think the Knicks have an interest in LeBron James. The Knicks are pretty happy with what they did this offseason. They're happy with what they got from Mike Brown. Mike Brown's been a big hit in Vegas around Nick. Like big hit. They love the Jordan Clarkson addition. They love the Yabusele addition. They think they've got a rotation that's nine or 10 deep right now. Like they're not looking to shake that up. Not in a conference that they think they think they can win with this group. So you're right, the options are limited. And look, there's just some people that keep telling me like just it's still possible. And the Clippers get brought up a lot with this stuff. But I don't know what makes sense with the Clippers. I don't know what makes sense with the Lakers.

Jake Fischer: Jordan Clarkson gave back roughly $3.6 million in his Utah buyout, sources say, about the same veteran's minimum amount the veteran guard is expected to earn when he signs with New York upon clearing waivers.

Jazz to buy out Jordan Clarkson
Shams Charania: Jordan Clarkson is finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN. Clarkson will target contending teams for his new home -- with interest from multiple playoff teams already expected.
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.
Jordan Clarkson receiving little interest on trade market
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+
Among the veterans currently being monitored leaguewide for potential inclusion in trades this offseason: Miami's Andrew Wiggins, Toronto's RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, Utah's Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson in addition to Collins, Washington's Marcus Smart and Milwaukee's Pat Connaughton.
Jazz likely to aggressively shop Collin Sexton, Jordan Clarkson?
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
