Why would the Jazz sign Norman Powell and Marcus Morris?
The Jazz currently have Collins, Kessler, and Agbaji apart from Markkanen and they would like to build their roster around those players. They can use the services of Powell and trade him later on when his valuation increases meanwhile Morris would give them some relaxation in salary as his contract is expiring.
