Utah Jazz Receive: F Davis Bertans, 2025 First-Round Pick
Dallas Mavericks Receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic
In many ways, Bogdanovic can slide right into Bertans’ current role with the Mavericks. It’s the extra abilities he can offer that make him worthy of a first-round pick.
First of all, Bogdanovic is a much more generally skilled offensive player. They’re both reliable floor spacers, but Bogey’s shot creation is considerably ahead of Bertans’. As hot as he can get, Bertans is largely a stationary shooter.
That’ll go a long way for these Mavericks. As constructed, they’re far too light on from-scratch creation. Luka is in a class of his own, and Jalen Brunson can make things happen. Otherwise, they’re largely compiled of role players.
Many of whom are valuable. Role-players will always have a place in this league. Regardless, the Mavs could use more bail-out options. Bogdanovic would instantly become the third-best offensive player on this team.

Meanwhile, the Jazz swap Bogey for a first-round pick in this circumstance. Bertans is a salary matcher. On the other hand, if they’d prefer some more proven talent, the Mavericks may be able to help them in that department as well.
