As NBA free agency officially kicks off on Monday, the Utah Jazz could be looking to make a few more changes on their roster following their recent trade to send Collin Sexton to the Charlotte Hornets.

However, it seems like when it comes to a move surrounding the likes of Jordan Clarkson, that could be something much easier said than done.

Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune recently broke down the latest surrounding the Jazz and any potential trade rumors involving Clarkson, ultimately noting there's "next to no interest" on the former Sixth Man of the Year.

"The Jazz would like to trade Jordan Clarkson but there is next to no interest on the trade market right now," Larsen wrote. "Simply has not had a very good last two seasons and is on the wrong side of the age curve."

Despite the Jazz's potential efforts to send off Clarkson, it hasn't come with any opposing team biting on a move to acquire him. While still a productive spark plug scorer, at 33 years old with offensive inefficiencies, not many teams appear to be interested in forfeiting assets in exchange for his services.

During his last year with the Jazz, Clarkson suited up for 37 games to average 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on 40.8% shooting from the field and 36.2% from three. It's not to say no teams wouldn't be interested in striking a deal with Utah to land him, but at the moment, the market looks to be pretty dry.

As the Jazz look to get their young guard core extended development opportunities this coming season, consisting of Isaiah Collier, Keyonte George, and now Walt Clayton, expect Utah to continue to shop around Clarkson in the days to weeks ahead, and could have a bit more interest after the inital wave of free agency frenzy dies down.
