There should be many eyes on the Utah Jazz this NBA offseason. Teams are preparing for Donovan Mitchell to potentially request a trade out of town.
The Jazz has hit a recent slide down the stretch of the season. They are still preparing to enter the postseason as potential title contenders as they sit fifth in the standings.
If this is yet another early exit for Utah, the front office might decide to shake things up, and the decision might not be difficult. Of course, this is if Mitchell tries to force his way out of town.
The relationship between Mitchell and Rudy Gobert has been rocky for years now. Both stars are signed long-term, but the duo could likely be split up if the postseason does not go the way they want. In today’s NBA, Mitchell would warrant the more significant return.

Mitchell continues to be one of the top point guards in the league. He’s averaging 26.0 points while shooting 35.5% from three-point range. He’s continued to be one of the NBA’s elite pick-and-roll scorers and isolation threats.
If Donovan Mitchell is genuinely on the block in the offseason, the Jazz will not have to search for a trade partner. These three teams could be interested in the point guard for the right price.
