Donovan Mitchell trade will be done before training camp. Does Magic have an interest?

I was a fan of this trade before watching Mitchell stink it up in playoffs. That Jazz team shouldn't have been in a hole with the Mavs without Doncic. I'm definitely not giving up Suggs for Mitchell. If they want future protected picks and Cole Anthony, sure.

I personally am not interested in Mitchell, don't want any defensive sieves on this roster. I like Fultz, Suggs, Wagner, Isaac, and WCJ from a defensive standpoint. I get that we don't have a scorer, but it feels too early to go for a big swing on a star, where our ceiling would be too limited for it to pay real dividends beyond another first round exit.

The news around NBA circle today is Utah Jazz Quin Snyder is out of Utah and Donovan Mitchell is unhappy about it.

Could they unplug a new rebuild and send away their stars like Gobert and Donovan?

What could we offer for a star like Donovan Mitchell? Several first rounders? Ross? Franz or Wendell?

Our first and Franz… but then we would suck and he would be pissed off here… and he’s definitely not worth that package.

Harris SnT, Bamba SnT, Ross, the Bulls FRP and the Nuggets FRP. I am all for that.

More seriously: he would probably force himself to Miami or Milwaukee. A trade to Orlando makes no sense for him.

Yeah... useless to trade for him. Any cool nicknames like Dwightmare for describing the drama spyda would give us?

Looking at Utah's cap they may look to move him to a team that can take on salary without giving a lot back. They would probably want to include Rudy Gay to get him off the books. Gay would be a good veteran presence for us.

He signed for 4 more years. I'd at least give Utah a lowball offer.

Problem is we dont need good veteran presence if all our good young players are in Utah after the trade. :wink:

Which would be the only trade Utah accepts.

If Mitchell doesn't like winning in Utah, then he would absolutely hate losing with the Magic and starting all over again.

Magic#1 · Post #51 » by **Magic#1** » Mon Jun 6, 2022 1:35 pm

I don't give up Suggs, Franz or even WCJ. Now, if other teams aren't willing to get in the game, and they really want to unload Mitchell for Cole, JI, Bamba SNT and future picks, it's a no brainer. But I don't see that happening. Mitchell has the ability to be an alpha on a contending team with the right cast around him, but I don't think it's the right time to give up our best pieces for him.

IllMagic04 · Post #52 » by **IllMagic04** » Mon Jun 6, 2022 2:28 pm

Utah ain't moving Mitchell to us if Franz and the #1 pick aint in the deal. Im not doing that. I think its too early for us to cash in as any realistic deal to get him would leave us a one man treadmill team. However If they lost their minds and were wiling to deal him for Suggs, WCjr, Issac or whoever else on the roster you do that deal in a hearbeat. If the trade is Suggs, WCjr, Ross, the Chicago pick and our pick ( top 5 protection) and the Jazz accept you ask them if its a prank call. If they are serious you make that trade immediately before their temporary insanity wears off. Yall are seriously overating our players if you dont make that deal

It's possible that we could be a facilitator. We could take a couple of vets like Taj Gibson, Rudy Gay, and picks.

If he actually wanted to play here, id give up this years first and fillers for him. (Anyone but Franz, JI (value to low), WCJ) to make it happen. And yes I would include Suggs. Replacing a second year rookie with a legit super star is no question.

But i doubt he does, and that would make it way to risky. But he obviously is a franchise player already and in his prime. you take that over a draft pick

Mitchell would need to publicly demand a trade, or he is a Jazz next year. It's that simple.

MasterGMer · Post #57 » by **MasterGMer** » Sat Jul 2, 2022 1:52 am

Now Rudy is gone, does anyone see a complete rebuild from the Jazz?

Now we have a lot of assets now with Bamba and Harris, could we pull an interesting package to lure Donovan Mitchell?

I know his situation, he is Win Now and Magic is not. But we are on the rise with tons of young potential stars. He could be an alpha dog on this team

Skybox · Post #58 » by **Skybox** » Sat Jul 2, 2022 12:42 pm

Ainge is in house in UTA...Mitchell is going to pull in a thousand picks, assuming UTA is going full rebuild (which I do). It's worth a call, but I don't see UTA selling him off for a price that wouldn't decimate our core. I'd give Suggs or Fultz(if they prefer cap room next year to young talent) or maybe even both, but they'd probably demand 4 frp's (which I wouldn't- I would do DEN and CHI). Mitchell is polarizing but he's an offensive star in this league and I think he and PB could co-exist well. Franz would probably fall back into more playmaking vs scoring (unless he becomes a knockdown 3pt guy), but that's still very valuable...it's all contingent on Mitchell recognizing that these guys don't suck and team ball wins. I don't know the guy so...

My high offer would be Suggs and an expiring (TRoss, Bamba, Fultz (partially guaranteed)-their choice) and DEN '25, CHI '23, plus all of our second round picks for a century...It will be very interesting to see what they actually get. I'm still against people drooling over quantity of picks vs top 5 potential.

Would Mitchell, Franz and Paolo coexist? That's likely to be a lot of usage amongst the three of them...

I loved the idea of a Mitchell trade before we drafted Paolo. Now it's tougher for me to envisage being successful.

Easily.

Add Fultz and Carter, and that is a contending starting five, in time.
