Donovan Mitchell
If the Jazz part ways with Rudy Gobert, they could still try and hold onto Donovan Mitchell. But, it has been reported that Mitchell will request a trade if the Jazz suffers another early playoff exit.
Currently matched up with the Dallas Mavericks, Utah will have a difficult first-round series right off the bat. Emotions have run high when those two teams have faced off during the regular season, but with how clustered things are in the Western Conference, they could change in the coming days.
Ultimately, another early playoff exit is possible. With rumors swirling that head coach Quin Snyder could be on the move, Utah may be looking at a total rebuild. Ultimately, Mitchell will end up being traded, and it will be to the New York Knicks.
New York is desperate to make a splash move, and Mitchell would qualify. He is a multi-time All-Star and would provide the consistent scoring punch the team has been looking for.

The Knicks would try their damndest not to put RJ Barrett in the trade package, but that may be who the Jazz push to get back in a deal.
Something will be worked out, as Mitchell will end up requesting the trade that has been rumored and will be playing for a new team come the 2022-23 season.
