NBA Trades: 3 Donovan Mitchell trades for the Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz</a> traded Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves, reports indicated that their plan was to keep star guard Donovan Mitchell and reshape their roster around him.</p> <p>However, according to a report from <a href=https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/13/nba-trades-donovan-mitchell-utah-jazz/2/"https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1546972364348329985" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN</a>, the Jazz are now “showing a willingness to listen on possible trade scenarios” for Mitchell.</p> <p>The 25-year-old guard has emerged as a perennial All-Star during his time in Utah, and any team that trades for him will have to give up a haul. Utah’s standards for a deal were set with the Gobert trade, especially with Danny Ainge involved.</p> <p>Some teams have already emerged as potential suitors, but anybody could get involved in the sweepstakes. Here are three NBA trades for Mitchell to help the Jazz.</p> <h2>NBA Trades: 3 Donovan Mitchell trades for the Utah Jazz: New York Knicks</h2> <p><strong>Heat receive:</strong> Donovan Mitchell</p> <p><strong>Jazz receive:</strong> Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Omer Yurtseven, 2023 1st-Round Pick, 2027 1st-Round Pick, 2029 1st-Round Pick</p> <p>This is the most obvious deal on the market. Mitchell has been connected to the Heat for a long time and they have been the team that has been reportedly looking to make a deal for him for a while.</p> <p>A core of Mitchell, Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, and Kyle Lowry would be one of the most talented in the league, and after being the one-seed this past season, it would likely only improve their chances.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the Jazz would be getting a potential All-Star who has shown flashes of being able to be the face of the franchise. If given the keys to a team, who knows how good Herro could be.</p> <p>Utah would also be getting a sharpshooter in Robinson, who could very well have a bounce-back year, a quality young big in Yurtseven, and a ton of first-round picks.</p> <div class="next-slide slider"> <a class="next-slide-btn" style="background:#222423" data-track="shortcode" data-track-action="next-slide-shortcode" href=https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/13/nba-trades-donovan-mitchell-utah-jazz/2/"#"> <span class="title">Next:</span> Trade #2 </a> </div><!—pageview_candidate—><hr id="pagebreak"><div id="attachment_446833" class="wp-caption aligncenter"> <img class="size-full wp-image-446833" src=https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/13/nba-trades-donovan-mitchell-utah-jazz/2/"https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/fetch/c_fill,g_auto,f_auto,h_1065,w_1600/http%3A%2F%2Fhoopshabit.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fgetty-images%2F2017%2F07%2F1308346029.jpeg" alt="NBA Trades, Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz" width="1600" height="1065" srcset="https://hoopshabit.com/wp-content/uploads/getty-images/2017/07/1308346029.jpeg 1600w, https://hoopshabit.com/wp-content/uploads/getty-images/2017/07/1308346029-768x511.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px"><div class="fs-center-img"> <p class="wp-caption-text" style="width:1600px;">TAMPA, FLORIDA – MARCH 19: Fred VanVleet #23 of the Toronto Raptors and Donovan Mitchell #45 of the Utah Jazz hug after the Utah Jazz beat the Toronto Raptors by a score of 115 to 112 at Amalie Arena on March 19, 2021 in Tampa, Florida, NBA Trades: 3 Donovan Mitchell trades for the Utah Jazz.

They have a great core but are still missing a little bit of star power.</p> <p>Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, and Scottie Barnes are prepped to bring this team into the future beautifully, but if the Raptors wanted to take a leap, Mitchell could help with that.</p> <p>Having Anunoby as the fourth piece of their core is solid, but Mitchell would give them an A-List scorer who could become the centerpiece of their offense, while the rest of the roster took care of things on the defensive end.</p> <p>For the Jazz, this would satisfy their need for picks while also adding a quality young player. Anunoby has shown glimpses of star potential, wish is great for Utah, but he doesn’t look like he could be the centerpiece of a rebuild.</p> <p>That being said, he’d be a nice piece to have as they enter their next phase of the rebuilding process. The Raptors would take a step closer to contention, while the Jazz would get younger and add some beloved firsts.</p> <div class="next-slide slider"> <a class="next-slide-btn" style="background:#222423" data-track="shortcode" data-track-action="next-slide-shortcode" href=https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/13/nba-trades-donovan-mitchell-utah-jazz/2/"#"> <span class="title">Next:</span> Trade #3 </a> </div><!—pageview_candidate—><hr id="pagebreak"><div id="attachment_442850" class="wp-caption aligncenter"> <img class="size-full wp-image-442850" src=https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/13/nba-trades-donovan-mitchell-utah-jazz/2/"https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/fetch/c_fill,g_auto,f_auto,h_2133,w_3200/http%3A%2F%2Fhoopshabit.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fgetty-images%2F2017%2F07%2F1238281402.jpeg" alt="NBA Trades, Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz" width="3200" height="2133" srcset="https://hoopshabit.com/wp-content/uploads/getty-images/2017/07/1238281402.jpeg 3200w, https://hoopshabit.com/wp-content/uploads/getty-images/2017/07/1238281402-768x512.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 3200px) 100vw, 3200px"><div class="fs-center-img"> <p class="wp-caption-text" style="width:3200px;">SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – FEBRUARY 07: Donovan Mitchell #45 of the Utah Jazz reacts after a play during the first half of a game against the New York Knicks at Vivint Smart Home Arena on February 07, 2022 in Salt Lake City, Utah, NBA Trades: 3 Donovan Mitchell trades for the Utah Jazz.

However, that’s the cost of doing business nowadays. The Jazz will almost certainly demand a haul for their young star.</p> <p>For the Knicks, nabbing a hometown kid who grew up in New York to lead the franchise just makes sense. Mitchell is a top-notch scorer and fully capable of leading a playoff team.</p> <p>Adding Mitchell to the roster would create a core of Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett, and Mitchell. Mitchell would be able to take over as the leading scorer, while the rest fell into place behind him.</p> <p>And for the Knicks, having the chance to add a young, perennial All-Star is almost too good to pass up on. Giving up on Toppin and Quickley would be rough, but again, that’s the cost of doing business.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the Jazz would be getting a nice little haul for Mitchell. In all honesty, Danny Ainge would probably try to demand Barrett, but the Knicks should refuse to give him up.</p> <p>Utah’s consolation prize would probably end up being Toppin and Quickley, who the Knicks would also probably try to hang onto, but they would need to give up something of value to get Mitchell.</p> <div class="fs-shortcode" data-type="StoryLink" data-theme="dark" data-text="3 Collin Sexton sign-and-trades for the Cavaliers" data-url="https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/11/nba-trades-collin-sexton-cleveland-cavaliers/" data-call-to-action="Next"> <div class="story-link-next"> <a class="story-link-next-btn" style="background:#222423" data-track="shortcode" data-track-action="story-link-next-shortcode" href=https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/13/nba-trades-donovan-mitchell-utah-jazz/2/"https://hoopshabit.com/2022/07/11/nba-trades-collin-sexton-cleveland-cavaliers/"> <span class="call_to_action">Next:</span> 3 Collin Sexton sign-and-trades for the Cavaliers </a> </div> </div><!—pageview_candidate—>">
