Utah gets: Gabe Vincent, Jared Vanderbilt, top 10 protected 2029 pick (remains top 10 protected from 2030 to 2031 before turning into two seconds)
LAL gets: Collin Sexton, Drew Eubanks.
Why for Utah: Move off a good player they don't want who will leave before the tank is over.
Why for LA: Add a good scorer and shooter who fits very well next to LeBron even though he will not help with their defensive problems.

They already owe 2027? So it has to be 2029

True, was thinking about a swap for a minute and left the 2028 part in while editing.

Re: UTA-LAL
I think it makes more sense for the Lakers to unprotect the 2027 pick and do a single (well) protected 1st that turns into a second in addition.
LAL trades: Vincent, Vanderbilt, removes top 4 protection from 2027 1st, 2029 1st (1-20 protected, otherwise future 2nd)
Something like that. Then the Lakers still have their 2031 pick available to trade and the Jazz get an asset w/a bit more upside variance if things go really wrong post-LeBron.

I would obviously prefer this, but I have no idea what Sexton's value is currently. I'm assuming it's not great.

Re: UTA-LAL
I don't see the Jazz getting the type of draft capital they're seeking from the Lakers unless they include Kessler. Not saying either team should do something like that, but the Lakers need to be able to convince themselves that the trade will really move the needle.
