Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Talen Horton-Tucker, G Kendrick Nunn, 2027 First-Round Pick (Top 5 Protected – LAL)

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Malik Beasley

The Los Angeles Lakers may be due for a busy summer, but the Utah Jazz have already had one. This squad already jettisoned Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In fact, Malik Beasley was part of that package. For that reason, he won’t even be eligible for a deal until August 31. With that said, he was far from the focus of their return.

Realistically, the Jazz were most interested in the four first-round picks they received.

In fact, it would be fair to say the Jazz made a deal that made them worse ahead of 2022-23. It was the type of trade that typically portends a rebuild. Observers won’t be shocked if a Donovan Mitchell trade comes on the heels of the Gobert deal.

If it does, look for the Jazz to make a flurry of separate deals. Nobody should be off limits. The Jazz will likely be focused on accumulating draft picks at all costs.

Are they getting enough in this return?
