Former North Carolina Tar Heels point guard Kendall Marshall was traded to the Utah Jazz from the Philadelphia 76ers.  Shortly after the trade, the Jazz released him.

The report comes from The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

According to Wojnarowski, the trade was structured around salary cap needs for both teams.  The 76ers traded Marshall for center Tibor Pleiss, two future second-round picks and cash.

After two seasons in Chapel Hill, the Phoenix Suns drafted Marshall with the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.  Marshall has spent time with the Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, and the 76ers.  He also had a stint the NBA’s developmental league with the Delaware 87ers.

Former Tar Heel point guard Marcus Paige was drafted by the Jazz in June.
