Denver Nuggets Receive: G/F Tim Hardaway Jr.
Utah Jazz Receive: F Will Barton, F Zeke Nnaji, 2025 First-Round Pick (Top 5 Protected – DAL)
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Mike Conley
This deal once again finds the Utah Jazz swapping Mike Conley for an intriguing young wing a protected first-rounder. With that said, Zeke Nnaji might be the most intriguing wing in any of these packages.
The 21-year-old is a versatile defender and reliable floor spacer. He already fits the 3-and-D archetype so many teams covet. Who knows where his development will take him?
Meanwhile, the Nuggets need Hardaway Jr.’s floor-spacing more than they need Barton’s playmaking and ball-handling. They’ll need medical records confirming Hardaway Jr. is good to go, but if he is, thi is an upgrade for their roster construction.
The same could not be said for the Utah Jazz. They’ll likely only be interested in these deals if Donovan Mitchell demands a trade this summer.

If he does, the Jazz will surely have no choice but to move on from Conley as well.
