Woj coming in 11 days late on this one Are they willing to take Russ - Fans turn in hilarious reactions to Utah Jazz potentially trading Donovan Mitchell this offseason

Jazz combo guard Donovan Mitchell. In the Rudy and Donovan era, the Utah repeatedly suffered first-round playoff exits and failed to make the Western Conference finals. But despite the lack of playoff success, Mitchell and Gobert transformed the Jazz into one of the most formidable regular-season teams. In the last six seasons, the Jazz finished first in their division on three occasions and had three 50+ win seasons. But after falling early in the playoffs last season, the Jazz management decided it was time for an overhaul. Coach Quin Snyder submitted his resignation after the season and the Jazz then traded Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota for four first-round picks. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier that the Jazz were looking to rebuild around Mitchell, but said yesterday that they are open to trading the guard, with several teams interested. After previously shutting down inquiries on moving All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, rival teams say the Utah Jazz are showing a willingness to listen on possible trade scenarios, sources tell ESPN.After previously shutting down inquiries on moving All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, rival teams say the Utah Jazz are showing a willingness to listen on possible trade scenarios, sources tell ESPN. Wojnarowski added a quote from general manager Justin Zanik, who left the door open for a possible Mitchell trade. Jazz general manager Justin Zanik told reporters in a recent interview, “Change is inevitable in the NBA…Things evolve in the NBA, so I couldn’t sit here and say anybody is [untouchable]…There’s no intent there [to trade Mitchell] at all.”Jazz general manager Justin Zanik told reporters in a recent interview, “Change is inevitable in the NBA…Things evolve in the NBA, so I couldn’t sit here and say anybody is [untouchable]…There’s no intent there [to trade Mitchell] at all.” Fans were quick to weigh in on the matter, sending in some hilarious reactions to Wojnarowski's report.

FWIW: I'm hearing some pushback regarding the idea that the Jazz are definitely keeping Donovan Mitchell moving forward.

Sense is that the Jazz are keeping their options open here: they could retool around Mitchell, or trade him for a massive haul to jumpstart a rebuild.FWIW: I'm hearing some pushback regarding the idea that the Jazz are definitely keeping Donovan Mitchell moving forward.

Utah had a great start with the return they got for Gobert, I imagine they get something really good for Mitchell as well to jumpstart the rebuild.
