Donovan Mitchell – Utah Jazz
Donovan Mitchell has helped turn the Utah Jazz into one of the best teams in the NBA, but the All-Star guard has seen fractures between him and Utah’s management since he was drafted in 2017.
Between the conflicts with him and Rudy Gobert, as well as all the problems between the Jazz medical staff and his own doctors, it is not crazy to believe that Donovan Mitchell is having doubts about his future in Utah.
Should the Jazz fail to reach the Western Conference Finals yet again, there will be a lot of discussion in the offseason about what the future holds for Utah, especially since they do not have an abundance of talent on their roster.
Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic are both really good players, but they are veterans that are nearing the end of their careers. Rudy Gobert is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate every single season, but his impact offensively is limited due to him only being able to finish at the rim.

Speculation about Donovan Mitchell’s future in this league has been an on-going discussion for quite some time now and quite honestly, it is hard to believe that his long-term future will be in Utah.
Mitchell is definitely not someone to give up on challenges and while he does truly love his situation with the Jazz and the fanbase in Salt Lake City, it does seem like a bunch of “toxic” situations are beginning to stack up on top of one another.
The Knicks have a huge need for a star in their backcourt and Donovan Mitchell has always been a fan of New York sports teams, including the Knicks. Not to mention, Fox Sports’ Ric Bucher claims that it is “only a matter of time” before Mitchell finds his way to New York.
