Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Evan Fournier, G Immanuel Quickley, G/F Cam Reddish, F Obi Toppin, No. 11 Pick, 2023 First-Round Pick (via DAL)
New York Knicks Receive: G Donovan Mitchell
In order for the Utah Jazz to be willing to part with an All-Star guard in his prime without there being a trade request made, the New York Knicks would need to be willing to part with a major trade package.
Taking on Julius Randle’s contract to pair him with Rudy Gobert doesn’t appear to be the best option for the Jazz. They would likely be intrigued by RJ Barrett, but they’d be going for a return of their other young players in this particular scenario.
The Knicks would be sending out a trade offer mostly built on draft assets being the appeal for the Utah Jazz. They would part with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, but they’d also send out a future first-round pick.
In terms of the players involved in the trade, the Jazz would receive Rudy Gobert’s French National Team teammate Evan Fournier and Immanuel Quickley, Cam Reddish, and Obi Toppin.
