Proposed blockbuster Jonathan Kuminga trade gives Jazz their new Kyle Korver

Question: if the Utah Jazz could get three-point shooting for basically free, should they take it? Second question: if the Jazz could benefit from the Jonathan Kuminga situation without getting him, should they take it?

If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then here's a trade Jazz fans will like. Jake Weinbach proposed a three-way trade between the Jazz, Atlanta Hawks, and Milwaukee Bucks in which the following would happen.

Bucks get: Kuminga (via sign-and-trade)

Jazz get: A.J. Green (via Walker Kessler TPE)

Hawks get: 2031 Jazz second-round pick

There is some intrigue in adding Kuminga to the Jazz's roster, but there has been absolutely no intel linking the Jazz to him. In fact, when Golden State tried to offer Kuminga in a deal for Lauri Markkanen, Utah made it abundantly clear that the answer was an emphatic NO.

But there are teams desperate enough to take a flyer on Kuminga that Utah has not entertained whatsoever, so it makes sense that Milwaukee fits that bill after trading Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In this specific proposed deal, the Jazz get Green, a three-point marksman who has been one of the very few positives to come out of the Bucks over the past few years with all the turmoil they've gone through in that same timespan.

Green is a three-point marksman, but more than that, he possesses that Kyle Korver-like ability to constantly be a threat from deep any time he touches the ball. He's a career 42% shooter from distance, never shooting less than 40.8% from three-point land.

Over time, Milwaukee has entrusted him to shoot more, and he has not let them down. Over his first four NBA season,s he's gone from three three-point attempts a game to 7.1. If he were to become a Jazzman, he would fit the bill as their new Kyle Korver.

Before coming to Utah, Korver had established himself as a sniper, but it was Utah that was first able to fully flesh out how dangerous of a weapon he could be.

With Utah planning to win as many games as possible, getting another Korver type would be a huge get for them.

Jazz have sharpshooters, but could use an upgrade

Outside of their starters, the Jazz have some pretty good floor spacers from the likes of Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski, and Svi Mykhailiuk. All of them are threats from deep, but Green is on a whole new level that would make defenses scramble when he's on the floor.

Utah is already pretty well loaded on the offensive side of the ball, but imagine having Green has a safety valave when teams try to double Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, Ace Bailey, Darryn Peterson, or Jaren Jackson Jr. They will think twice when Green is on the floor.

And to think, all it would cost them is a second-round pick half a decade from now? Where do the Jazz sign?
