Donovan Mitchell

Could Donovan Mitchell be pried away from the Utah Jazz?

The Phoenix Suns are undoubtedly the most embarrassed team from round two of the postseason. The answer to their issues could currently be playing for round one’s most embarrassed team, the Jazz.

Mitchell provides exactly what the Suns are missing offensively. A creative, on-ball, three-level scorer, Mitchell would spice up an offense that quickly grew stale this postseason.

A CP3, Mitchell, and Booker three-headed monster would have endless ways of attacking a defense, especially surrounded by the Suns’ smart passers.

Donovan Mitchell is a star, and would require a star-level return. Could Phoenix stomach a deal centered around Mikal Bridges for the Jazz guard? Bridges is the Suns’ defensive stopper, but Cam Johnson could possibly fill his role next season. Meanwhile, the Jazz would happily add a solid perimeter defender around Rudy Gobert in such a deal.

It would very much be a defense for offense swap, but if Game 7 is any indication – the Suns need offense, desperately.
