What happened: Utah moved Cody Williams and acquired Josh Green in the late-August deal. Green's $14 million salary expires after the 2026-27 season.
Why it matters: Utah can evaluate Green as a rotation player while preserving flexibility for another move. Parting with Williams shifts a roster spot from development toward immediate contribution.
By the numbers: Green's 48.0% career field-goal rate is 9.3 percentage points higher than his three-point mark.
What to watch: Green's 2026-27 role will shape whether Utah keeps him beyond the contract year or explores another deal.
