Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Rudy Gobert, G Mike Conley

Utah Jazz Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie, G Reggie Bullock, C Dwight Powell, G/F Tim Hardaway Jr., G/F Josh Green, 26th Pick, 2025 First-Round Pick

This trade would involve both teams’ front offices accepting that the current cores that they built aren’t sufficient and accepting the prospect of swapping out a major chunk of their roster.

This deal would see eight players changing teams. The largest trade in NBA history saw 13 total players on the move, but it included five teams in the deal, as well.

In 2005, the Miami Heat acquired Antoine Walker from the Boston Celtics, Jason Williams, James Posey, Andre Emmett from the Memphis Grizzlies, and Robert Duenas from the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pels got just Rasual Butler from the Heat and Kirk Snyder from the Jazz.

The Grizz grabbed Eddie Jones from Miami and Raul Lopez from Utah. The Cs nabbed Albert Miralles, Qyntel Woods, and two second-round picks from the Heat along with Curtis Borchardt from the Jazz. And lastly, the Jazz got just Greg Ostertag from the Grizzlies.
