Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Jaylen Brown
Boston Celtics Receive: G Donovan Mitchell

In recent times, the star-for-star trade is becoming increasingly rare in the NBA. More often than not, we expect to see a mass of draft picks getting moved for a star player.

It makes sense. More often than not, when a star is getting traded, it’s going to leave his team out of the running for the Larry O’Brien Trophy. With that context, teams are increasingly choosing to start from scratch when their best player wants out.

It’s a viable strategy, but it’s not the only one. In all likelihood, it’s a trend that will continue to develop. Still, if another star is open for trade, teams should keep an open mind towards acquiring them.

With that said, this situation may not be optimal for such a deal. After all, the Utah Jazz just traded Rudy Gobert for, among other assets, four first-round picks.
