Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Rudy Gobert
Utah Jazz Receive: F Tobias Harris, F Gordon Hayward, G James Bouknight, C Kai Jones, 2023 First-Round Pick (PHI), 2025 First-Round Pick (CHA), 2027 First-Round Pick (CHA), 2028 First-Round Pick (PHI)
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

With this package, the Utah Jazz take on two undesirable contracts in exchange for both of their incumbent superstars. Why on earth would they do it?

For the mountain of sweeteners attached to the deal.

Both Bouknight and Jones are high upside players. They saw a limited run with a Hornets team that endeavored to stay competitive in 2021-22. The Jazz would likely unleash both in 2022-23. More importantly, they’re receiving four first-round picks here to get their rebuild off on the right foot.

Meanwhile, the Hornets will aim to compete again next season. Gobert aids that cause. They’re desperate for a starting-caliber big man. The 3x Defensive Player of the Year would be a huge addition to this team.

Finally, the Philadelphia 76ers land Mitchell. His fit alongside Harden and Maxey is questionable. Just don’t expect Daryl Morey to pass on him for that reason: he’d prefer to get his stars first and figure the rest out later.
