Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Evan Fournier, G/F Cam Reddish, F Obi Toppin, 2023 First-Round Pick (NYK), 2024 First-Round Pick (NYK), 2025 First-Round Pick (MIL via NYK), 2026 First-Round Pick (NYK), 2028 First-Round Pick (NYK)
New York Knicks Receive: G Donovan Mitchell
Consider this the most likely trade to occur between these two teams this summer.
That’s not to call it a precise prediction. The Jazz may prefer one of Immanuel Quickley or Quentin Grimes to the players they’re receiving here. Meanwhile, these teams are probably already haggling over how many first-round picks the Jazz should receive.
Still, something resembling this is starting to feel like a likelihood. The Jazz already received four first-round picks in exchange for Rudy Gobert. Building through the draft feels like the safest route for this team to take. This deal has them landing five more first-rounders in exchange for the star guard.
On the other hand, the Jazz could prefer a more established young star at the expense of draft capital. First-round picks are nice, but they’re risky.
