Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Gary Harris, 2025 First-Round Pick (Top-5 Protected – DEN via ORL)
Orlando Magic Receive: G Jordan Clarkson
Having said that, it is difficult to read the Utah Jazz as a team. The position they have created for themselves is an interesting one.
The Jazz were on a tear last summer. In addition to Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, this team turned them into a treasure trove of first-round picks and young players.
It was assumed that they would tank for Victor Wembanyama for the most part. They did not do so. Last season, the Jazz were fairly competitive in the Western Conference.
On the other hand, they did not make it to the playoffs this year. Is this team stuck in the middle of the pack? There is no way for us to know for sure.

What we do know is that the Jazz have just acquired a player by the name of John Collins. That feels like a move they wouldn’t make if they didn’t intend on staying competitive.
So why would they move Clarkson?
