Jarred Vanderbilt
Best Destinations: Charlotte Hornets, Indiana Pacers, Houston Rockets
Of any player the Jazz received in return for Gobert, Vanderbilt might be a keeper. He’s 23, and already a high-impact, versatile defender in this league. At the same time, if the Jazz could ship him off to a squad that’s a little further into their rebuild, that team might be willing to make it worth their while.
Rudy Gay
Best Destinations: Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns
Don’t worry. We’re getting to the bottom of the barrel.
That’s not a knock on Gay. He’s had a very successful NBA career. It’s just that, at 35, he’s nearing the end of it. Still, a contender in need of a little frontcourt spacing and serviceable defense would likely take him on at a low cost.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Best Destinations: Washington Wizards, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs
Alexander-Walker really hasn’t found his footing in this league yet. Is he truly a point guard, or a wing with secondary ball-handling skills?
As a rule, if you don’t know what a player does, he hasn’t made an impact at the professional level yet. Still, Alexander-Walker should hold some intrigue for rebuilding teams at 23. He still has plenty of time to find his way in this league.
