Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, C Omer Yurtseven, 2023 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – MIA) 

Miami Heat Receive: G Mike Conley 

On the other hand, with the summer the Utah Jazz had, they may not need that fountain. This Jazz team is young enough. 

At least, they almost are. The Jazz swapped Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert for, in total, seven unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, in addition to a platoon of young players. Their rebuild is clearly in full swing. 

On the other hand, the Jazz still have veterans kicking around. Conley, Bojan Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson are all likely to find new homes this summer.

Simply put, they’re no longer in the Jazz’s plans.

After all, the Jazz will likely look to “tank” in 2022-23. This team doesn’t need impact veterans: it needs to lose games to maximize its lottery odds. For that reason, nobody should be surprised if the Jazz move on from Conley this summer. 

Is this the right return for him?
