The Jazz have agreed to a four-year, $73MM deal with free agent Bojan Bogdanovic, tweets Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Bogdanovic scored a career-high 18 points per game last season with Indiana, also holding career-best shooting marks of 49.7% from the field and 42.5% from 3-point range. The Jazz have agreed to trade veteran forward Derrick Favors – who has a $17.65MM non-guaranteed salary – to New Orleans to clear space for the incoming forward.

Utah plans to add Bogdanovic, a talented offensive option on the wing, to a roster that already includes the likes of Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Joe Ingles and Rudy Gobert.

In addition to Bogdanovic, the Jazz also agreed to a two-year, $10MM deal with free agent forward Ed Davis.

Solid, under the radar moves imo. I hope they're a legit contender next season in a loaded western conference..

Utah can really spread out the floor now and have a lot of 3-pt shooting depth.

Gobert is crucial with Favors being gone, Utah needs Rudy to have a productive but most importantly healthy year in the middle.

As with all the teams, key players being Mitchell Conley and Gobert have to have career seasons into the playoffs for the Jazz to have a chance to make some noise in a competitive Western Conference!
