The Utah Jazz finally bit the bullet and traded away their second All-Star of the off-season, and while many expected New York or Miami, the Jazz eventually sent Spida to Cleveland in exchange for Ochai Agbaji, Lauri Markannen, Collin Sexton and three first-round picks, as well as two pick swaps. On the surface, it seems like a great deal, and after the Gobert one went through, getting five picks again was a great move, but overall, it’s hard to say that the Jazz come out big winners like they did on the previous occasion.

Sure, overall, this was still a pretty good trade, but there’s a few key differences in the Rudy Gobret trade to this one, and while many will, and should feel good about this trade, there’s a few reasons why the Jazz shouldn’t be as excited here.

So sit back and read along as we take a look at 3 reasons why the Utah Jazz lost this stunning trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers that took the entire NBA world by shock.
