What happened: The Utah Jazz acquired Cody Williams from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Josh Green, per the Salt Lake Tribune. The trade also included cash and John Konchar heading to Utah.

Why it matters: The deal frees Minnesota's second-apron space by moving off Green's contract while adding a young wing in Konchar's stretch-and-waive path. For Utah, Williams arrives as a former lottery pick the franchise is betting can develop with a larger role.

What to watch: Konchar clears waivers and becomes a free agent Monday at 5 p.m. ET as part of the same cap-clearing sequence.
