The Utah Jazz experienced no shortage of disappointing losses in the stretch-run of the 2021-22 NBA regular season.

After being eliminated in six games by the Dallas Mavericks in the first round, there is a question mark surrounding all of their roster beyond Donovan Mitchell.

The options at the Utah Jazz’s disposal are limited given they do not have a war chest of draft capital they’re sitting on, have a lot of salary on the books already, and aren’t a free agency destination. At some point, does either Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert get traded?

According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, the likelihood of Rudy Gobert getting traded is higher than Donovan Mitchell. He also noted the Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors as being two teams to keep an eye on as Gobert suitors.
