Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Donovan literally lead the league in PER in the playoffs in 2020, was 7th in 2021 and because he had one down playoff series everyone is ready to give up on him (he was still 22nd in PER).

People are not giving up on Donovan. Donovan's current contract doesn't give the Jazz enough time to properly rebuild around him. At that point, he'll probably want out of Utah.

There have been multiple reports saying that the Jazz have discussed Ayton with the Suns. It's not clear if the Jazz and Ayton agree on what his next contract would be though. I don't think giving Ayton $25M/year is a terrible deal in today's market. I could also see the Jazz acquiring him as a quality asset regardless of what the Jazz do with Mitchell. You're right though, Ayton is a reasonable replacement for Gobert in a re-tool scenario.

Jazz have plenty of guards with Beasley and Clarkson next to Mitchell, plus Conley. Jared Butler and NAW could break into the rotation. Not sure what the Jazz do with Patrick Beverly, but he'll attract interest on the trade market. Collins and Vanderbilt would give the Jazz options at the 4 if the Jazz can acquire Collins.

At the end of the day, it's just a question of whether the Jazz want to re-tool or rebuild. The fact that they're discussing trades for Donovan suggests that they're leaving both options open at a minimum.

I would be surprised to see Conley back in any scenario. I think he is most likely to be gone. Bogey and Gay are also pretty likely as well. Mitchell is your starting PG and then you let Butler try to steal minutes from Beverly unless he is traded or part of a trade. I also think we will trade Beasley or Clarkson but I could see us starting Beasley and keeping Clarkson in his role. We still would really need a 3 and D guy at the wing spot. If we trade Mitchell then dump anyone we can get decent picks for that isnt really young and has potential. I could see a scenario for picking up Ayton and see if he can improve his value or turn into a key part to combine with future picks/players.
 
Recent reporting is that Beverly likely to be bought out. Another indicator imo that we are tanking not retooling.

Why buy him out when he has value on the trade market?
