5. Utah takes a shot
The Utah Jazz are on the outside looking in. The Western Conference is stacked and the Jazz will need to do something drastic in order to set themselves apart. Or, they could risk being a middle of the road team for years to come.
There have been rumblings about Rudy Gobert being on the trade block. If so, the Warriors would certainly be interested in the Defensive Player of the Year. But, for now, let’s focus on a less extreme deal.
Bojan Bogdanovic is one of the more underrated forwards in the league. He is versatile in his attack, displaying strong playmaking and creation skills. Bogdanovic averaged 20.2 points and 2.1 assists last season while shooting above 40 percent from the 3-point line.
The Jazz get the 2nd overall pick and an opportunity to add another star next to Donovan Mitchell. This could be key to keeping Mitchell invested in the team’s future. Obviously, acquiring Andrew Wiggins should help this case as well.
