The Hypothetical Trade
Rockets Receive: Mike Conley, Royce O’Neale
Jazz Receive: Russell Westbrook, PJ Tucker, 2021 Second-Round Pick
Utah would be putting together a legitimate championship contender. Westbrook and Mitchell would be one of the most dynamic back-court duos in the NBA. He would also add more playmaking to the floor.
As for the Rockets, they would still get a star point guard back in return. O’Neale may not be a great player, but he is a solid role player.
Tucker is another intriguing piece for the Jazz. He is reportedly not happy with the Rockets right now. Moving him in this trade would be a huge win for the Jazz.
Let’s take a closer look at this trade for both teams involved and why they should pull the trigger on this deal.
