The Utah Jazz is limping toward the postseason. With just four games left in the NBA regular season, Utah has lost six of its last seven games and sits at 46-32. This recent slide and an early exit in the playoffs could lead to some big changes within the organization.
The relationship between Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert has always been rocky. This could be the offseason that sees one of the two stars be traded. If the front office decides to pull the trigger, it is likely that Gobert is out.
The NBA is a guard-driven league and while Gobert is highly valued, it is hard to find guards like Mitchell. Gobert is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year who could be in line for his fourth honor this season. He has three years and $123 million left on his contract.
If the Jazz were to underachieve once again come playoff time, could Mitchell pursue a trade request to move elsewhere? If he were to do so, one team that stands out as a potential landing spot is the New York Knicks given they have been linked to him in the past.
