Utah Jazz Receive: F Harrison Barnes, C Richaun Holmes, F Keegan Murray, 2026 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2028 First-Round Pick (SAC)
Sacramento Kings Receive: G Donovan Mitchell
Trading Keegan Murray will sting for Sacramento. With that said, difficult decisions sometimes have to be made in the National Basketball Association.
When you’re trying to break the longest postseason drought in NBA history, that holds especially true.
The Kings shouldn’t hesitate to trade Murray if they’re landing Mitchell. After moving Tyrese Haliburton in exchange for Domantas Sabonis, they’re squarely in win-now mode.
With that in mind, they can’t afford to take half measures.

On the other hand, both teams could have reason to decline this trade. Spending the fourth pick on Murray only to move him before he plays an NBA game is not ideal.
Meanwhile, the Jazz would probably prefer more draft capital in exchange for their star guard.
