Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns eyeing Nemanja Bjelica

Serbian forward Nemanja Bjelica, who'll be a RFA this summer, is expected to draw some interest during the free agency. Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns are among the team that could show interest in the forward, a source told Sportando. Bjelica averaged 6.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game during the last regular season, shooting 41% from the three-point line. Bjelica also made his debut in the NBA playoffs, averaging 4.6 points in 5 games, shooting with 51% from three-point.

During the recent Euroleague Final Four in Belgrade, Bjelica spent some time with Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell, endorsing him as The Rookie of The Year with a post on Instagram. Under that post, former Timberwolves Ricky Rubio commented in this way: 'Teammate next year?"

Jazz are expected to have only a few million available under the cap and they'll have to deal also with Dante Exum restricted free agency, while the Suns will have more cap space available, so they can potentially make a more intriguing offer to Bjelica, financially speaking.

If the Timberwolves will extend the qualifying offer to Bjelica, they'll have the right to match any offer the player should receive during the summer. Minnesota is already over the cap.
