The Utah Jazz could be one underachieving NBA postseason away from blowing it up and building around Donovan Mitchell. There have been trade rumors involving Rudy Gobert ahead of the offseason, too. The relationship between the stars in Utah is rocky and has been for years now.
Despite both being signed long-term, the front office could decide to find trade partners. Looking outside of the duo, Bojan Bogdanovic has been featured in talks as well.
The 33-year-old forward has taken his game up a notch during his three years in Utah. Bogdanovic has averaged 18.4 points and shot 39.7% from three-point range during his time as a member of the Utah Jazz.
In 2019, Utah signed Bogdanovic to a four-year, $72 million contract. Next season will be the final year of his contract and it makes him a prime trade piece.

If this is another disappointing season as it’s shaking out to be, the front office can begin unloading talent for assets and Bogdanovic makes sense.
