After the departure of Gordon Hayward, the Utah Jazz lack a star offensive talent. Trading for Porzingis will immediately make him the franchise cornerstone.

With Rudy Gobert protecting the rim (he averaged a ridiculous 2.6 blocks per game last season) and Porzingis patrolling the paint and the 3-point line at the offensive end, the Jazz will be a fun team to watch.

If the Jazz pull off this trade, it should not come as a surprise if they replace the Warriors as the Western Conference Champions eventually (when the core of the Warriors team is broken up due to cap constraints).
