A recent report from a retired MMA fighter turned broadcaster, claiming that Rudy Gobert will ask the Utah Jazz to trade him or Donovan Mitchell in the days to come, has yet to be substantiated, but it would not be a surprise for the franchise to come to that conclusion first, since they blew another winnable playoff series.
Gobert is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and Mitchell a three-time All-Star. Small-market teams rarely want to part with either, especially when they have won nearly two-thirds of their regular-season games together over the past four seasons and both are under contract for at least three more seasons.
