Trade rumors: Three franchises keen to sign Utah Jazz power forward Kelly Olynyk

Utah Jazz power forward Kelly Olynyk is reportedly attracting interest from three different franchises in the ongoing transfer window.

The mid-season transfer window is coming to a close on Thursday as teams are finalising their strategy to strengthen the contingent ahead of the remainder of the season.

As per the latest report, Olynyk is drawing interest from three different franchises — the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors.

Earlier, he was also linked with a trade with the Toronto Raptors but it did not materialise. The 32-year-old’s contract is set to expire in the summer and he is on a salary of $12.1 million.

Olynyk is having a below-par season with the Jazz where he is averaging 8.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. In the team’s recent win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he registered 10 points to go with four rebounds and seven assists.

His best performance this season came in the match against the Detroit Pistons in December at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit where he registered 27 points with the help of three rebounds and six assists. It was the only time this season here that Olynyk managed to register 20 or more points for the Jazz.
