Utah Jazz Receive: F Gordon Hayward, F/C P.J. Washington, G James Bouknight, 2024 First-Round Pick (CHA), 2026 First-Round Pick (CHA), 2028 First-Round Pick (CHA), 2029 First-Round Pick (Swap – CHA)
Charlotte Hornets Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

Here’s a question to ponder: how much more valuable is a draft pick to a rebuilding team compared to a young player?
