Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert
Utah Jazz Receive: Joel Embiid, Josh Richardson, 2020 1st Round Pick (via Oklahoma City), 2021 1st Round Pick
This trade is obviously massive and would have huge ramifications for both the Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz. It would be the type of trade that we seldom see in the NBA, where multiple franchise cornerstones are leaving one team, in exchange for another centerpiece.
In this hypothetical, the Jazz part with their two most notable players, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. The trade value for Gobert isn’t likely as high as many would expect when considering he’s soon due for a major payday next offseason.
In return, Utah hypothetically acquires Joel Embiid and Josh Richardson along with a 2020 1st round pick (via Oklahoma City, No. 21 overall) and a 2021 1st round pick.
Let’s analyze this trade, which would surely send shockwaves throughout the NBA.
