Draft picks are not a problem. They are cheap and will not bring us over the tax line.
Who says we`re not going to make a trade? Just because Kanter hasn`t been traded doesn`t mean we`re never going to trade any player. We`ve got plenty of time to figure out who to keep and who trade. We`re not in a hurry and do not need to start trading for the sake of trading. If it is all a case of maximizing assets, we`d better make sure we know for certain what and who are assets really are before we start moving them.

To be honest, if I'm Quin Snyder, I'm designing rotations to make Kanter very attractive in trade scenarios. Then I have DL identify all of the young (i.e. cheap) wings that have All Star potential. Guys like Antetokounmpo, Wiggins, Beal, etc. I hope that there's a team that's not as sold on their own guy and I offer Kanter, Burke and a windfall of draft picks. Maybe every single GM laughs and hangs up. It only takes one to make a deal.
If nothing materializes, I plan on rolling with a big rotation of Gobert, Favors and Kanter and I start working out the kinks now. That plan must come with the decision that I WILL match any contract offer Kanter gets - even up to a RFA Max like Hayward. There's a legit possibility of this, and it's critical to have a plan for that accordingly. If the team believes that Exum makes a Gobert-like jump between now and next season, moving Kanter is less of a priority, because the Jazz aren't forced to chance a veteran PG to start until Dante's ready. He was impressive tonight, and I hope it continues for his development.
I'm not sure if they should or should not trade Kanter at the deadline. I legitimately think he has the offensive potential of Kevin Love, but his poor defense and sparse passing will hurt him overall. I do know that I don't trade him at all, unless I'm getting a potential star player back.

I think the Jazz are exploring trades for Kanter, but they are likely to re-sign him in free agency and keep him as an asset unless he gets an outrageous offer. Given the emergence of Favors and Gobert, another team could well be tempted to test the Jazz by offering him a $50+MM deal. Then we'll have to see what the Jazz FO does. The Jazz probably do have a number in mind beyond which they might let Kanter walk in free agency, but I'm guessing it's a pretty high number all things considered. I don't know if they'll match a max deal, but I'm sure they're working through all the scenarios.
