Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal
In all likelihood, there will be some haggling involved here.
The Utah Jazz will first ask for Jordan Poole. The Warriors should decline. Losing Poole and Wiggins for the sake of adding Michell has the potential to have a net negative impact on this squad.
After all, Poole may be young, but he’s a win-now contributor. With that said, the Jazz should be thinking about upside anyway. With that in mind, this package could suit them.
They’re not making this trade to add Wiggins. He’s here to match Mitchell’s salary. In all likelihood, they’ll audition him throughout the season in a bid to trade him by the deadline. They’re looking to add Kuminga and a little draft capital here.
