Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal 

If Markkanen does miss out on All-NBA honors this season, it could be due to his lack of team success. 

The Jazz had a mediocre season. In fact, they didn’t even qualify for the play-in tournament. That’s a major reason why they’d do this deal. 

Simply put, they aren’t ready to compete. Flipping Markkanen for two first-round picks and a swap makes sense through that lens. The Jazz are continuing their rebuild. 

They’re also getting a solid young player who can be part of it in Williams. All told this deal gives the Jazz a brighter future.
