Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal 

Frankly, this deal gives the Jazz more than enough in our view. 

In fact, they’d be lucky to get this package. In a vacuum, Clarkson may not be worth a first-round pick. As talented as he is, he was woefully efficient from the field in 2021-22. Furthermore, he’s never been much of a defensive presence. 

With that said, the Suns are paying a tax to shed Landry Shamet’s contract here. He’s making $9.5 million for the next four years. That’s not a massive figure, but given his level of contribution, it’s an overpay. 

Meanwhile, Okogie hasn’t flashed a ton of potential in the NBA either. In essence, this deal boils down to Utah agreeing to absorb Shamet’s contract and send the Suns a much better player in exchange for a first-round pick.
