Houston Rockets Receive: F Josh Green

Utah Jazz Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie, F Kenyon Martin Jr., 2025 First-Round Pick (Top 5 Protected – DAL)

Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Mike Conley

Here, the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz enlist the Houston Rockets to make a deal. This trade will likely depend on two factors: how much do the Rockets and Jazz each value Martin and Green.

The Rockets are likely to draft one of Jabari Smith Jr. or Paolo Banchero this summer. They’ll both see the bulk of their minutes at the 4 spot. So, of course, does Martin.

They’ll be interested in doing business here if they think they need a purer 3 like Green. He’s a comparable player to Martin in size and ability: this is a lateral move for the sake of fit.

Meanwhile, the Jazz make this move if they think Martin has a higher upside than Green. While he’s not as stout a perimeter defender, he is one of the league’s strongest run-and-jump athletes.

He’s just a little unpolished. If that deters the Jazz, another three-team will be more appropriate here.
