Delta occasionally has SkyMiles award sales, but they have taken some time off due to the ongoing global pandemic (hopefully coming to an inevitable end soon).
Now, SkyMiles members can redeem for business class award trips to Europe for 148,000 SkyMiles and actual taxes on travel through early April 2022 but must be booked by tomorrow night (December 9).
You can access this offer on Delta’s website here.

Conclusion
The most recent Delta business class awards sale was for 98,000 SkyMiles, so it is difficult to say that 148,000 would be a bargain. It is, however, less than what Delta usually charges (often 200K++).
I have found SkyMiles useful for some intra-Latin America and Air France and KLM awards in Europe and elsewhere, not for actual flights on the airline itself (Delta).
