Utah Jazz Receive: G Kyle Lowry, G Tyler Herro, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – MIA), 2028 First Round Pick (MIA), 2029 First-Round Pick (Swap – MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: G Donovan Mitchell
Unlike the Miami Heat, the Utah Jazz aren’t typically associated with the league’s biggest names. In fact, they’re one of the smallest players on the market.
That doesn’t mean they haven’t been successful. In fact, the Jazz have been one of the most consistent franchises of the past 30 years. They simply go about their business differently.
Mostly, that means drafting well, and targeting players who’ll be happy in Utah. After all, these aren’t just vastly different organizations: they’re vastly different markets.
A young man making money is likely to prefer to live in Miami. That’s just how it is. The weather is better, the nightlife is more vibrant, and there are more fellow celebrities in town.
