Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal
If the Utah Jazz think they could win a title this year, they shouldn’t make this deal.
On a related note: the Utah Jazz should not think they have a chance at winning a title this year. Yes, they’ve been surprisingly competitive. They still lack the star power to make that kind of playoff run.
With that in mind, they ought to consolidate assets. Nothing should matter to this organization as much as daft capital at the moment. This deal nets them a first-round pick.
Granted, it’s a protected one. That’s fine. As long as Doncic is a Maverick, they shouldn’t be selecting in the top 10.

The Jazz do this deal so that when they’re truly ready to contend, they’ll have assets to help their cause.
After all, that will be thei goal – eventually.
