Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal
Yes. The Jazz have a lot of incoming first-round picks. Realistically, they won’t even be able to use them all.
With that in mind, this team should be thinking about consolidation. The Jazz need to be prioritizing quality over quantity. Here, they’re going out and getting their guy.
Besides, unlike the Hornets, the Jazz may not have their guy. Lauri Markkanen had an impressive 2022-23 season. Does anyone think he’s a player that can carry the Jazz on a deep playoff run?
Henderson might be. The Jazz would be acquiring their franchise player here. That’s well worth the cost of two extra first-round picks.
