After Utah Jazz traded Rudy Gobert to Minnesota Timberwolves for a host of players and draft picks, reports suggest the team now plans to restructure around Donovan Mitchell . However, according to the latest rumors, that may not be the case.
While the idea is to give Mitchell better complementary players, Andy Larson of the Salt Lake Tribune notes that the Jazz are still willing to trade the superstar guard to start Completely rebuilt. In the Gobert trade, they have received four first-round picks from the Timberwolves, and they will definitely get more if they decide to trade Mitchell.
Larson also pointed out that if Mitchell is allowed to trade, especially if they miss Durant , the Heat will be more aggressive in trading Mitchell.
Especially Miami. Obviously, Kevin Durant is their number one target, but if that doesn't work out, they have been and will continue to be aggressive against Mitchell.
After another brutal elimination from the 2022 playoffs, talk of the Jazz trading one of their superstars or destroying the team intensified across the board, ultimately leading to the Rudy Gobert trade. The Jazz are reportedly far from done making their move in free agency.
What they will do with Donovan Mitchell remains to be seen, but as free agency continues, all eyes will be on them. If they could offer the star guard, many teams would call and ask for their price.
If they end up keeping Mitchell, it will be interesting to see the players they sign and surround him with to get out of playoff trouble.
