Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Julius Randle, G Mike Conley
Utah Jazz Receive: G Russell Westbrook, G/F Cam Reddish, 2023 1st Round Pick (NYK), 2024 1st Round Pick (NYK), 2025 1st Round Pick (MIL via NYK), 2027 1st Round Pick (LAL), 2029 1st Round Pick (LAL)
New York Knicks Receive: G Donovan Mitchell
If the Utah Jazz don’t intend on trading Donovan Mitchell, they’ve sure embarked on an interesting journey this summer.
As previously mentioned, the Jazz already moved Rudy Gobert. In return, they received a number of players, and more notably, four first-round picks. If you thought they were finished, you were wrong.
One of the players they received in that deal was Patrick Beverley. He’s gone – ironically, to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Jazz received the much younger Talen Horton-Tucker in exchange for the elite defensive guard.
None of those trades make the Jazz better in 2022-23. In fact, they do quite the opposite. If the Jazz enter the 2022-23 season as currently constructed, expect them to tumble down the standings.

Granted, they could be assembling the best package they can to go shop for a new co-star for Mitchell.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just move him instead?
