Utah Jazz
Should they fail to make a deep playoff run again, the Jazz are going to be looking to make moves in the offseason to switch up their roster around Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
They may not look to move Mike Conley, but Bojan Bogdanovic will suddenly become a player entering the final year of his contract that could be on the move.
Finding another frontcourt player to take pressure off of Gobert offensively will be key, especially since Royce O’Neale is not a true power-forward and is more well-suited to be a defensive-minded small-forward in this league.
John Collins’ contract would be a lot for the Jazz to try and absorb, but he is definitely another pick-and-roll big man that is athletic enough to compliment the play of Donovan Mitchell nicely.

Given that the Jazz stretch the floor and shoots a lot of threes, John Collins’ overall fit could be questioned, but switching up their philosophy to utilize the athletic talents on their roster more could result in the Jazz becoming more of a transition team, meaning that Collins would fit in perfectly as a floor-runner at the power-forward position.

Moving Bojan Bogdanovic and Eric Paschall for John Collins in the offseason is simply enough to make sense for the Jazz and finding high-level talents to go to Utah is not easy, which is why the Jazz need to take what they can get in terms of high-end talents like John Collins, especially since he is only 24-years-old as well.
