Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal 

In short – yes. Getting a first-round pick for Bogdanovic is worthwhile for the Jazz in any circumstance. 

That’s not a slight on Bogdanovic. He’s a quality veteran. He’s also 33. It’s hard to say with confidence that his play won’t decline as early as next season. 

More importantly, he’s on an expiring contract. If a rebuilding team was landing him, that would be a benefit. For the Heat, that makes him a rental. 

In other words, Bogdanovic’s current trade value is lower than his talent may suggest. For that reason, this is a fair trade for the Jazz.
