NBA Rumors have been pointing out for weeks an increasingly delicate relationship between Utah Jazz and his star Donovan Mitchellto the point that the player himself made some statements after a defeat in which he indicated his discontent for “everything always being the same shit”.
This anger from Mitchell came in a context in which the Jazz have gone through the worst moment of the season for them, to the point that right now they are in fifth place in the Western Conference with a record of 46-31, 2.5 games out of the ‘play-in’ zone when they did nothing they were comfortably in the field factor zone for the playoffs.
It’s gotten to a point where it looks like the Donovan Mitchell-Utah situation has only one solution: trade. This has been confirmed by the journalist and insider of the NBA for ESPN, Tim MacMahon, who appeared on “The Lowe Post” podcast.
“The idea of Mitchell staying his entire career with the Utah Jazz is just ridiculous,” MacMahon said. “That is the idea that has been hanging around the head of the franchise all season, and that has been strengthened in recent weeks. It is certainly something that will be taken into account with the arrival of summer and the transfer market.”

a stalled project
In recent years, despite always being at the top of the Western Conference, the Jazz have never been considered as favorites to win the ring. Even with a great pair of stars like Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell himself, there hasn’t been a single year in which the Salt Lake City franchise has managed to intimidate its rivals.
