Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Elizah Huge]

I had a dream that the Jazz traded Mitchell to Houston for #3, #17, 2 future FRPs (maybe Brooklyn?), Eric Gordon and something else.

Then I woke up.

Did you wake up before or after we drafted Banchero lol?

Before, but the assumption was that either Banchero or Jabari Smith would be available at #3, like we were confident Chet would go in the top 2.

Take Donovan out of the equation, because it isn't about him why do you think the rest of the team don't pass it to Rudy?

That's not really germane. And, you're right, it's not about Donovan, it's about your nonsensical statement. If Gobert's +/- was on par with Donovan's, then, yeah, you could easily put the blame on him, but it wasn't.

Those Brooklyn picks and swaps that Houston has are really valuable. Brooklyn is teetering right now.

As far as the idea of a Mitchell trade coming down the pike, league sources do feel that it’s a matter of “when and not if” with Mitchell eventually asking to go to a “glamour market” like New York or Miami. But in the short term, there’s skepticism it will happen. New Jazz owner Ryan Smith is said to be extremely dedicated to keeping and building around Mitchell. Which, of course, is going to mean moving Rudy Gobert as it’s become apparent that relationship is untenable on-court and off-court.

This is Donovan Mitchell's camp preemptively saying, "I won't be happy if you trade me to Sacramento or Oklahoma City." But if I'm the Jazz, that's exactly where I'd send him.

If he requests a trade we trade him for the best package lol.

This hits less hard than the Tim McMahon quotes were he consistently says "Donovan is not long for Utah". This is Matt Moore recycling some of the other stuff imo.. I don't think its wrong but I think he's going click bait style here.

His entire article was recycled stuff from Fischer, Larsen, etc.

Collins --> Portland
Gobert --> Atlanta
Hunter, #7, Nurkic --> Utah

This is precisely why they should do it now. If everybody knows it's going to happen and "it’s a matter of when and not if” do it on your own term and when you have the most leverage and when you can extract the most value and furthermore when Mitchell won't be able to dictate to you where to send him and thus limit your return. Just trade him now before he even asks for it.
