Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Mike Conley F Bojan Bogdanovic

Utah Jazz Receive: Russell Westbrook, 2026 First-Round Pick (Swap – LAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL)

This deal only works if the Utah Jazz are backed into a corner.

Rumors widely suggest that Donovan Mitchell intends to force his way out of town this summer. If he does, every veteran on their roster becomes expendable.

In that event, the Jazz ought to prioritize maximizing their draft capital. A first-round pick and a swap might be market value for an aging, expensive Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic.

The Los Angeles Lakers should hope so. Every fit concern that Westbrook posed alongside LeBron James is alleviated by Mike Conley. He’s an elite floor-spacer, a solid decision-maker, and a selfless player.

Meanwhile, Bogdanovic puts more floor-spacing around James and Anthony Davis as well. If the Jazz are forced to make rebuilding moves this summer, the Lakers should look to capitalize.
