Miami Heat Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

Utah Jazz Receive: G Kyle Lowry, G Tyler Herro, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2026 First-Round Pick (Swap – MIA)

This first trade is essentially the nuclear option for the Utah Jazz. They’ll only be interested in making this deal if Donovan Mitchell demands a trade.

In that event, this deal ought to intrigue them. After all, they’re landing his immediate replacement in Herro. For a small-market team like the Jazz, that ought to count significantly.

Teams like Utah often opt against long-term rebuilding projects. This deal achieves that end. Herro should be able to plug right into Mitchell’s role as the Jazz’s new primary offensive option.

On the other hand, Herro is unlikely to fulfill that role as well as Mitchell has. Still, he’s a nice piece if the Jazz are looking to split the difference between rebuilding and competing in 2022-23.
