Utah Jazz Receive: F Kyle Kuzma, F Rui Hachimura, F Deni Avdija, F Corey Kispert, F/C Taj Gibson, 2025 First-Round Pick (WAS), 2026 First-Round Pick (Swap – WAS), 2027 First-Round Pick (WAS), 2028 First-Round Pick (Swap – WAS)
Washington Wizards Receive: G Donovan Mitchell
Realistically, this is not the offer most Utah Jazz fans are anticipating.
Compared to most hypotheticals out there, it’s admittedly light on draft capital.
If the Jazz were to trade Mitchell to the Knicks, as widely expected, they’d likely get more picks. Does that necessarily mean they’d get a better package?
After all, young players have their own value for a rebuild. None of the players the Jazz would be receiving here are likely to compromise their lottery odds on their own. In different words, they aren’t receiving a young star here.

With that said, they are receiving players who would complement their next young star. If the Jazz like any of the players they’re receiving here, acquiring them affords them some control of their near destiny.
Are they getting enough value for Mitchell?
