The Utah Jazz (12-37) and Phoenix Suns (25-25) meet Friday. Tip-off from Footprint Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NBA odds around the Jazz vs.

The Phoenix Suns completely botched the 2025 NBA trade deadline, according to several writers, with one calling them "an embarrassing disaster." Ouch.

NBA teams' roster moves at the trade deadline can heavily impact someone's life and that of their loved ones. That's what NBA players experience upon the deadline, usually February's first Thursday. The Suns (25-25) looked to make moves before the deadline as they've been teetering around the .

A few weeks ago, a league executive told me to expect a relatively quiet trade deadline, one without a blockbuster deal. There were too many cap restrictions, more buyers than sellers on the market, and a general pessimism about deals getting done.

The NBA trade deadline is over and we saw all sorts of action take place. But one move that wasn't made was the Phoenix Suns trading away star Kevin Durant. There had been a lot of talk about Durant potentially being moved at the deadline but he seemed to turn down any deals that Phoenix had available.

Kevin Durant was subject to trade rumors and was reportedly not approached by the Suns before they engaged in Warriors conversations.
