Best trade in Jazz history? Here are 9 contenders I thought of. If you can think of others worth mentioning let me know.

  • Spencer Haywood for Adrian Dantley, 1979
  • Dominique Wilkins for John Drew, Freeman Williams, and $1 million, 1982 (cash kept the Jazz in Utah)
  • Jeff Malone and first-round pick for Jeff Hornacek, Sean Green and a second-round pick, 1994
  • Three first round picks for Deron Williams, 2005
  • Deron Williams for Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and two first-round picks, 2011
  • Second round pick and cash for Rudy Gobert, 2013
  • First round pick and Trey Lyles for Donovan Mitchell, 2017
  • Jae Crowder, Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, and two first-round picks for Mike Conley, 2019
  • Dante Exum and two second round picks for Jeremy Clarkson, 2019
 
Also pretty crazy that four (or five, if you count Favs) of the trades involve the current roster.
 
Aside from Jeremy Clarkson, you forgot the trade that brought us Jeff Malone. We traded an expired carton of milk and a pick aspartame packet.

What do you mean, aside from Jeremy Clarkson? He's the last bullet point.

edit: but thanks for the heads up on the Jeff Malone coming here trade. I became a Jazz fan just a bit before the Horny trade.
 
AD made us feel like a legit franchise.
Horny was the catalyst for the finals team
Deron kept us relevant
Favors may be the nicest guy ever
Gobert/Mitchell is a toss up for the biggest steal
Clarkson was the reason we got the chip ( I'm a forward thinker). Therefore I gotta go with Clarkson
 
Here are two trades that I think are more significant than they get credit for:

- Gordan Giricek for Kyle Korver. This trade should have actually had more impact than it did. Korver should have started and he was also our best defender on the perimeter.

- McLeod/Palacio (forget who) for Derek Fisher. Yes, Fisher ended up being a chode and also shot like crap during his season with us, but I do believe he played a big part in providing some leadership for our young team that helped us advance farther into the playoffs than we’ve gone in the past 23 years.
