Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Richaun Holmes, F Harrison Barnes
Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Ben Simmons, 2022 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2024 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2026 First-Round Pick (SAC)
Sacramento Kings Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

Yes, we snuck a Ben Simmons trade into a Donovan Mitchell piece. Thank you for noticing.

Here, the Brooklyn Nets cut their losses with Simmons and add two quality role players in the process. Admittedly, Holmes missed a large portion of the 2021-22 season due to personal reasons. Sound familiar?

The Nets may feel they can’t rely on Simmons either. They’re adding a quality starter in Barnes at the very least. If Holmes is ready and able to suit up in 2022-23, he’ll be the best rim protector they’ve had in the Durant/Irving era.

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz will be rebuilding, so they’ll have the time to be patient with Simmons. If they still believe in the 25-year-old, it’ll be hard for them to find a better return for Mitchell than this one.
