Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal 

In both cases, yes and no. As far as the Jazz are concerned, it is probably too late for them to become major players in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.

As a result, teams such as the Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, and Charlotte Hornets are too far ahead (or, behind) each other. However, that does not mean they can’t maximize their chances of being selected in the draft. 

There is no doubt that this class is full of talented individuals. As a result, the Jazz will have access to Minnesota’s picks for the foreseeable future.

When they have a decent pick to start with, they may be able to trade up if they are able to make a decent offer.

It goes without saying that even if the Jazz do not bottom out, these picks are extremely valuable. There is no doubt that the Lakers are aging and already underperforming. In 2027, who knows where they will be? 

It is with this in mind that we must ask if they can really afford to part with these picks?
