The Jazz traded wing Royce O’Neale to the Brooklyn Nets, receiving a 2023 first-round pick in return, according to reporting from ESPN.
Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale celebrates a three point shot in the final quarter as the Utah Jazz and the New York Nicks play an NBA basketball game at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City on Monday, Feb. 7, 2022.For the last three seasons, the Utah Jazz had a go-to, established starting lineup of Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Royce O’Neale, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Rudy Gobert.
O’Neale, 29, was one of former general manager Dennis Lindsey’s most effective finds. Signed to compete for the 15th roster spot with Joel Bolomboy in the 2017 offseason, O’Neale quickly impressed with his defense-first attitude and quick ball-moving, making him a solid fit with the rest of the Jazz’s roster. By his third NBA season, he had become Quin Snyder’s pick as the team’s starting small forward, thanks to those traits.
In 2020, he signed a 4-year, $36-million extension with the team, though the final year is only guaranteed for $2.5 million. Last season, O’Neale’s defense faltered somewhat, leading to a downtick in minutes for the first time in his NBA career. The Jazz had a better net rating with him off the court than on, and new signing Danuel House outshone O’Neale at times.
In the trade acquiring James Harden from Houston, the Nets and Rockets agreed to a pick swap, in which the Rockets would own the most valuable and the Nets would own the least valuable of the two teams’ 2023 first-round pick. Then, when they traded Harden to the Sixers, they acquired an additional first-round pick from Philadelphia.
