Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal

The Utah Jazz do the deal to appease Donovan Mitchell. If he’s willing to stay in town on the condition that they get him some help on offense, this trade does the trick.

After all, Karl-Anthony Towns would be by far the most dynamic offensive player he’d ever shared the floor with. Between the two, the Jazz ought to have a top 5 offense next season. The league’s best attack wouldn’t be out of the question.

Yes, the defense would suffer. The Jazz would likely make further roster moves to remedy that. Even still, they could just score their way into the postseason. If nothing else, they’ll have appeased Mitchell.

Of course, this deal is unlikely. Still, with some imagination, it can be justified. The Timberwolves achieve better balance, while the Jazz form one of the league’s most explosive offensive duos.
