Utah Jazz Receive: F Davis Bertans, F Josh Green, F Jalen Johnson, 2023 First-Round Pick (CHA), 2025 First-Round Pick (ATL), 2027 First-Round Pick (DAL)

Atlanta Hawks Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

Dallas Mavericks Receive: F John Collins

By getting a little more creative, both sides would be able to make a better deal for themselves here.

The Hawks benefit by cutting out the middle man. Why acquire a couple of small pieces that could help you acquire a star eventually when you can just acquire a star? By pairing Mitchell with Young, they create one of the best backcourts in the NBA.

Meanwhile, the Jazz pull the trigger on a rebuild here. Josh Green, Jalen Johnson, and three first-round picks are a solid start. If Johnson in particular hits his ceiling, the Jazz are landing an athletic point forward who finds his way onto All-Star teams.

Finally, the Mavericks get Collins. He’s instantly the second-best player on this team. They’ll be hoping that the chemistry he develops with Luka Doncic exceeds that which he had with Trae Young.

If it does, they should be playing for the NBA title next season. After all, they’re already in the Western Conference Finals without a John Collins.
