Lakers Trade:
Austin Reaves
Gabe Vincent
Dalton Knecht

Jazz Trade:
John Collins
Walker Kessler

Why for LA?
They need size. This trade gives them a much better chance at winning this season. Collins and Kessler have been very efficient this season. Kessler adds some much needed rim protection and Collins adds a bit of positional spacing and should feast on lobs from LBJ and Doncic.

Why for Utah?
They soft tank for Cooper Flagg. Reaves and Knecht seem like players that would excite the Utah fanbase.

Done before and Utah says no immediately

I would trade Collins for other players, but I wouldn't consider Kessler without picks involved. Also I'm much lower on Reaves and Knecht than most other people are.

This proposal, with minor variations, has been done to death on here. It's still an absolute nonstarter for the Jazz.

This.

Add the 31 1st pick and there is a deal.

The Lakers have done enough to the Jazz by tricking them into devaluing an asset.
