Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Ben Simmons, F Cameron Johnson, 2024 First-Round Pick (PHX), 2029 First-Round Pick (PHX)

Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Donovan Mitchell, G/F Mikal Bridges, 2027 First-Round Pick (PHX)

Phoenix Suns Receive: F Kevin Durant

Calling this one a blockbuster feels like an understatement. Certainly, it would be in the running for the most significant trade in NBA history.

It would also give a few players a much-needed change of scenery. Kevin Durant is the obvious candidate here. He’s formally requested a trade, so we know he’d like to relocate. This deal has him landing in his reported preferred location in Phoenix.

Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell’s potential departure from Utah is no secret either. By all indications, he hasn’t made a trade request.

Still, in light of the future-focused package the Jazz received for Rudy Gobert, it may be in the player and organization’s best interests to move on here.

Finally, even Ben Simmons may benefit from finding a new home. That may be odd to say. After all, he hasn’t suited up once for the Nets yet.

Some rumors suggest that might be precisely the problem. If the Nets really did feel that he was healthy enough to suit up in the 2021-22 playoffs, the damage may already be done here.

Finding himself on the Jazz could be a perfect situation for Simmons. Following this deal, they’ll be rebuilding. If he authors a comeback, they could be rebuilt around him.
