This five-team NBA trade would set the league on fire: Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz receive: Buddy Hield, Jake Layman

Utah Jazz trade away: Bojan Bogdanovic, Eric Paschall, 2023 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected), 2026 Second-Round Pick

The Utah Jazz also have a fairly minimal role in this trade. The main reason they would be involved is to add some more shooting to their roster.

In this deal, they would be getting Buddy Hield – a bonafide sharpshooter. They would also pick up swingman Jake Layman, but Hield is the star of the show in this trade.

Utah has survived on two things for the past few seasons – defense and three-point shooting. While their defense has been solid, their three-point shooting has not been.

They are currently ranked 27th in the NBA in three-point percentage, shooting 32.1 percent from deep. Adding Hield would certainly help that.

Losing Bogdanovic hurts, but they could simply insert Joe Ingles into the starting lineup, or move Royce O’Neale to the four and run Hield at the three.

Eric Paschall has played limited minutes and only averages 4.5 points per game. Plus, he has been having a rough shooting year from behind the arc.

Bogdanovic has been struggling from range this season, and this could seriously help them on the perimeter. Having Hield as a knock-down three-point shooter would give them a serious weapon to put alongside Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
