I am not convinced this is a smart move for Utah. Kessler-Markkanen-JJJ is not a great fit (all three want to be starters, but not all three can be). Both Markkanen and JJJ are PF - neither is a good center, imho. But it will be definitely very interesting to see, what additional moves they plan to make in next half a year.
Since they kept their 2026 pick, Utah will still want to remain bottom 8 or the pick goes to OKC.
Edit: if Utah is willing to try Markkanen-JJJ as PF and C, they would have some deadly shooting on all positions
