It's beyond retarded to think the Jazz would eat Russ contract and give them three solid players for one first rounder.
Sorta. They don't really want solid players though. They want to suck. Competent players on their team decrease their chances for Wembanyama. Jettisoning all their decent role players to field a team of Russ (expiring contract so it doesn't hurt long term) and a bunch of G-leaguers would break 20 wins if they're lucky. Plus, they might buy Russ out at some point anyway, making them even worse. For one first rounder, they might go for it.
But I'd expect them to ask for more.
