Utah breaks up a playoff team for bunch of second rounders?

Why not? It’s better to increase your chance in lottery than being a perennial play-in team. Also, they wouldn’t trade Mitchell if they wanted to be in playoffs this season.

This trade gives them cap flexibility for next summer, too.

I think it’s really bad for Jazz.

They got an overpay for Mitchell. 3 firsts + Sexton. No one here is overpaying, Utah passes.

Beasley is young enough and cheap. He fits Utah perfectly.
