The Utah Jazz have a surplus of guards, and one of them reportedly is available on the NBA trade market with free agency set to begin at the end of the week.
Utah is making G Trey Burke available via trade, league sources say, after the recent deal for George Hill and with Dante Exum coming back.

Burke averaged 10.6 points, 2.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 64 games for the Jazz last season. He averaged 12.8 points per game in his first two seasons as a pro.
The former University of Michigan star is signed through next season at a team-friendly salary of $3,386,597.
Burke would be a decent backup option for teams that strike out in free agency, which begins Friday. The pool of quality point guards on the free-agent market is pretty shallow, so there might be a pretty good trade market for Burke.
