Rather than giving up 2025, I wonder if Utah would be interested in swapping protected 2023 for unprotected 2027. Hard to imagine the Dallas 2023 being a very good pick. But, 26-27 is the last year of Luka’s contract. If he is going to force his way out, that would likely be the first season without him (not predicting, just saying if I were Utah, I’d place a much higher value on 2027 than I would 2023).I would do that if we had a trade target in mind for the 23 and 25 (Collins?). If not, I’d rather keep the 27 so next year I have no gaps in what I can pay a team in picks. Then again, I’m also more of the opinion that we go for 2 players when we have 4 picks to spend (2 picks for each, of the Murray level value).
