Utah Jazz Receive: Pat Connaughton (G/F, from Bucks), Cody Martin (G/F, from suns), 3 Second-Round Picks

Send: John Collins (F/C)

Motivation: In rebuild mode post-2024-25, the Jazz shed Collins’ $26.58M option and Olynyk’s expiring deal, taking back shorter contracts (Connaughton: ~$9.4M, Martin: ~$8.7M) and three SRPs for future flexibility.

Salary Out: Collins ($26.58M),

Salary In: Connaughton ($9.4M), Martin ($8.7M) = ~$18.1M + 3 SRPs

Milwaukee Bucks Receive: Zion Williamson (PF, from Pelicans), John Collins (F/C, from Jazz), 1 First-Round Pick

Send: Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Pat Connaughton (G/F)

Motivation: With Lillard sidelined and recent playoff struggles, the Bucks trade Giannis for Zion (age 24, $36M), a versatile big in Collins, and a FRP to retool for the future.

Salary Out: Giannis ($63.4M), Connaughton ($9.4M) = ~$72.8M

Salary In: Zion ($36M), Collins ($26.58M) = ~$62.58M + 1 FRP

Phoenix Suns Receive: Kelly Olynyk (C, from Pels ), Trae Young (PG, from Hawks), 1 First-Round Pick

Send: (Implied assets, e.g., Kevin Durant or Bradley Beal, to fifth team)

Salary Out: (E.g., Durant $51.2M or Beal $50.2M) = ~$50-51M

Salary In: Olynyk ($12.8M), Young ($43.0M) = ~$55.8M + 1 FRP

Atlanta Hawks Receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF, from Bucks)

Send: Trae Young (PG)

Salary Out: Young ($43.0M)

Salary In: Giannis ($63.4M)
