The Oklahoma City Thunder own the rights to the Jazz’s 2026 first round pick, unless it falls in the top eight. With the worst record in the league next season, the Jazz would be guaranteed to keep their pick because the lowest Utah could fall in the draft would be No. 5, like what happened this year when Utah landed Ace Bailey.

The Miami Heat have acquired Norman Powell, while John Collins is going to the Los Angeles Clippers and Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson are headed to the Utah Jazz as parts of a three-team trade.

According to cap analyst Yossi Gozlan on X, with the Jazz's latest three-team deal, Utah has now decreased payroll to where they can now become a cap space team in the event KJ Martin and Jaden Springer are waived, who both sit on non-guaranteed salaries.
