Why The Utah Jazz Do The Deal

The Utah Jazz do this deal if Donovan Mitchell requests a trade. Otherwise, they’re likely to retool this roster around their star scoring guard.

That doesn’t project as a likely scenario. Donovan Mitchell trade rumors have grown so strong that if you listen carefully, the wind whispers “he wants a bigger market” throughout Salt Lake City. This team’s 2021-22 season was too disappointing to look at any other scenario as being probable.

If Mitchell wants out, the Jazz need to rebuild. Without their offensive engine, they’ll be headed nowhere fast in an effort to remain competitive. Rudy Gobert may be the best rim protector in basketball, but without a top offensive option, his efforts will be wasted.

By that logic, a Mitchell trade necessitates a fire sale. The Jazz should be targeting first-round picks and quality young players. This trade fits the bill. Getting a first-rounder for Bogdanovic is high value. They shouldn’t hesitate to take on Bertans’ contract either: taking on bad contract with sweeteners attached is something rebuilding teams do.
