Washington Wizards guard Garrett Temple opted into his deal this summer. After Ernie Grunfeld acquired Ramon Sessions prior to the trade deadline, Temple’s playing time decreased this past season and the former LSU standout isn’t expected to be a part of the rotation next year.

Sessions will remain the team’s primary backup point guard and the team will also have Gary Neal and Alan Anderson play the guard positions as well.

With that said, the Wizards have a number of expendable players on their roster — one of them being Garrett Temple.

The Utah Jazz recently lost Dante Exum to an ACL injury and need to address their backup point guard spot.

According to Jody Genessy, the Jazz are interested in trading for Temple:

I'm told the Jazz are interested in pursuing veteran guard Garrett Temple from the Washington Wizards to shore up their point guard platoon. — Jody Genessy (@DJJazzyJody) August 6, 2015

Temple is only getting the veteran minimum, so it’s unclear if the Washington Wizards would receive a player in return. If the Wizards do end up trading Temple, they would likely do it in order to open a roster spot.

The team has been open about wanting to keep the 15th spot empty for flexibility.

Even though the Jazz are interested in Temple, as weird as it sounds, I’m not sold that Washington would give him up at this point.

The 6’6″ guard is one of Randy Wittman‘s favorite players on the roster. He’s a dependable defender and he’s versatile enough to play both guard positions. At the very least, Temple would be a solid option if Sessions were to miss some time.

Right now, the only true point guards on the Jazz’s roster are Trey Burke and Raul Neto.

Burke is extremely inefficient and hasn’t shown enough growth since entering the league a few seasons ago. At this point, he’s not a starting caliber point guard, especially in a league that’s dominated by players that play that position.

Neto isn’t a good outside shooter and it will take him some time to adjust to the NBA game. Having a rookie point guard play big minutes usually doesn’t bode well for the team’s success.

Temple would be an OK get for the Jazz, really. Temple is someone coach Quin Snyder would be able to call on and know what he’s going to get from in terms of production.

With Kevin Seraphin gone, the Washington Wizards could use a backup big man more than a backup guard. If they trade Garrett Temple to the Jazz, they could potentially sign another center.
