The Jazz are interested in pursuing a trade for Wizards guard Garrett Temple, the Deseret News has been informed.
According to a source, Jazz coach Quin Snyder is a proponent of the 6-foot-6 Temple, who would give the team a big defensive presence in Exum’s absence.
Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey refuted the notion that the Jazz are discussing potential temporary replacements for Exum. At this point, he believes that would be insensitive to Exum and his parents.
“There is a bunch of speculation out there right now,” Lindsey said during an interview with 1280 The Zone on Thursday.
