Utah Jazz Receive: F/C Dario Saric, G Landry Shamet, 2023 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – PHO)
Phoenix Suns Receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic
First-round picks have become the currency of the NBA. In some ways, it’s turned the NBA into an arm’s race on both the top and bottom.
At the top, teams clamor to land as many star players as possible. In the superteam era, as in the three-point era, the basic mathematical principle that 3 > 2 rules the day.
At the bottom, rebuilding teams scramble to assemble as many first-round picks as they can.
Of course, nobody is going to surpass the Oklahoma City Thunder on that score, but the Jazz got a head start by receiving four first-rounders in exchange for Rudy Gobert.
