Jazz acquire Jordan Clarkson's expiring contract, offload Dante Exum to Cavs.

The Jazz have acquired Jordan Clarkson.

Fresh off a narrow defeat in a seven-game series with the defending dynastic champions, the Utah Jazz have already begun chasing higher aspirations for next season. Going to the Cavaliers is Dante Exum, who had one nice performance out of seven for the Jazz against San Antonio, and in his wake arrives Jordan Clarkson, the former Lakers prospect.

Exum has the longer contract, with spotty injury history, so it's a win-win for both teams. Cleveland acquires another prospect with not too long of a deal, and Utah gets a shorter contract with more consistent contribution.

Clarkson has one year left on his deal, with two for Exum, who is three years younger than Clarkson.
