Friday's Jazz Links: Should Utah shop Gordon Hayward?

Should the Jazz trade Gordon Hayward?: Word is, the Jazz have identified one of the top two projected picks — Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram — as a real difference-maker. If that's true, would it be worth making a move to get him, even a dramatic one, even if it fractured what they've previously done? Yes, yes it would. Gordon Hayward is a very good player, as was displayed by his past season, during which he averaged 19.7 points, 3.7 assists and five rebounds per game. -- The Salt Lake Tribune

Former Iowa forward Jared Uthoff shines at predraft workout: Jared Uthoff went to Iowa because Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffrey promised to make his game ready for the NBA. True to his word, the coach used Uthoff in many different ways during his time with the Hawkeyes. He played both forward spots. He played center in smaller lineups. He shot 3-pointers from the perimeter. He posted up in the paint. -- The Salt Lake Tribune

Utah Jazz planning major face-lift for their downtown arena: The home of the Utah Jazz got a new name this past season, and soon it will be getting a makeover. The Larry H. Miller Group is planning a major renovation of Vivint SmartHome Arena, expected to cost more than $100 million, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned. -- The Salt Lake Tribune

Utah Jazz continue pre-draft process of looking for hidden gems: With the NBA draft lottery now in the rear-view mirror, the Utah Jazz resumed their pre-draft workout lineup. Thursday’s group didn’t include any lottery-bound athletes, but the Jazz could look at some of the players for one of their three second-round selections or to fill the D-League roster of the Salt Lake City Stars. -- Deseret News
