The Utah Jazz could be nearing a blockbuster deal this NBA offseason. After another lackluster campaign, the front office will have a chance to split up their duo of superstars.
Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert have been unable to get the Jazz to where they want to go. Utah has fallen short of a championship for years now, and this is why the roster could look a bit different heading into next season.
A first-round exit this year might have been the final straw. The Dallas Mavericks eliminated the Jazz in the playoffs, which might have set this plan into motion. Gobert is unhappy with his current position and could be the player sent away in a trade. If one of the best defensive players in the league is available, there will be many teams interested.
The Atlanta Hawks could be near the top of the list because of their need and the package they could send back to Utah. Atlanta is another team that saw an underwhelming campaign last season. The Hawks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs as the eighth seed this year.

Both Trae Young and John Colin signed contract extensions to keep their core together. That might not be the case if the front office decides to blow it up a bit and reshape.
Let’s take a closer look at the details of this blockbuster deal between Utah and Atlanta.
