In the spirit of Bill Simmons and his NBA trade-value rankings, I wanted to rank the Utah Jazz players by how valuable they are as prospects.
Just like with Bill Simmons’ trade value rankings, this isn’t ranking players from best to worst (even though that is a consideration) but rather a list of who is the “most untradable” based on multiple factors. From Bill Simmons, here are the considerations:
Rule no. 1: Salaries matter (more than ever in the Apron Era, by the way).
Rule no. 2: Age matters.
Rule no. 3: Contract length matters.
Rule no. 4: Happiness matters; so does durability.
Rule no. 5: Bizarre real-life trades SHOULD affect the list.
Rule no. 6: Concentrate on degrees.

With a list of players ranked by how untradable they are, the first on the list has to be the guy who was signed because of how tradeable his contract is.
That said, Green does bring a lot to the table as a role player. He has good size at 6’6″ and shoots 42% from three. He’s not all-defense, but he’s a positive defender. Considering all of that, and that he’s still just 26, he has a chance to make himself much more untradeable. Although, in a weird way, him playing well makes him more tradeable? Look, it’s a weird paradox here, and I don’t know the witchcraft that can help him. But let’s just say Green playing well helps the Jazz in a variety of ways, whether it’s winning games or helping Utah make a big trade come trade deadline.
If this were a player ranking list, Svi Mykhailiuk would be higher. His shooting is consistently great, and he brings a fearlessness backed up by real production. His contract is also incredibly affordable. You could argue the value you get for the cost makes him one of the best values in the league.

The defense is the biggest liability here. If he was more impactful on that end, he’d be even more untradable. Ironically, if Svi wasn’t so low in salary, he’d be more tradable. His $3M+ contract is difficult to move because it’s hard to find a salary match for…
