San Antonio Spurs Receive: G Donovan Mitchell
If the Utah Jazz are forced to rebuild, they’ll need draft picks. Their own cupboard has gotten pretty bare in pursuit of veterans to fuel a title run. This trade finds them restocking.
If not, they’re still getting what they need here. Picks. Lots of them. Any team that’s forced to start from scratch should covet nothing more.
The San Antonio Spurs are taking a risk. If Donovan Mitchell fails to gel with Murray, they’ve given up a lot of draft capital for nothing. We think it’s a good bet. Murray’s elite point-of-attack defense covers for Mitchell’s deficiencies on that end.
Meanwhile, Mitchell’s from-scratch shot creation lessens Murray’s offensive load. On paper, this works.
