Yea. This could be real, or could be talking just to drive up his asking price. As we know, Bazemore is rumored to be talking with the Hawks, Spurs, Suns, Celtics, Mavericks, 76ers, and Lakers. We've been used before! We could be being used again!

Or, in typical Jazz fashion, this is just much ado about nothing, as it's July 3rd.
