Utah Jazz Receive: F Michael Porter Jr., 2024 First-Round Pick (UTA), 2027 First-Round Pick (UTA)

Denver Nuggets Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

For those who have seen Michael Porter Jr. play, it is clear that he is worth the money. The problem is, he has had back injuries since college and was the reason he fell to the middle of the first round to Denver. If not, Porter Jr. was a top pick.

Now, he remains out after back surgery and this does not seem like an issue that is going to get better as he gets older.

The Nuggets are in a good spot with Murray and Jokic so a blockbuster trade would not be the worst idea. Especially if they will get Donovan Mitchell in return.

This is a simple deal. Mitchell would be on his way to Denver while Porter Jr. and some draft capital would go to the Utah Jazz.
