Ever since the Utah Jazz made the stunning decision to part with one franchise cornerstone in Rudy Gobert, the trade rumors involving Donovan Mitchell have been as hot as ever. Recent reports of a potential Mitchell deal have ignited the flame, with the New York Knicks and Jazz re-opening trade discussions as of late.

The Knicks have been the team most often linked to an eventual Mitchell trade, but one source suggests New York may not be the favorite to land the three-time NBA All-Star.

“I was told by a source that the Jazz actually have a couple of offers, that I was told are from other teams outside of NY that they like an awful lot.“– Utah radio host Spence Checketts on Donovan Mitchell trade discussions

While this may be what Spence Checketts heard, it’s just as possible the Jazz are putting this report out there to try and coax another team to up their existing offer for Mitchell.
