Utah Jazz Reportedly Have Set a Deadline for a Potential Donovan Mitchell Trade

The Utah Jazz are on the clock.

It’s being reported that Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell could be traded within the next month. The Utah Jazz are reportedly looking to move Donovan Mitchell before NBA training camps open at the end of September according to Brian Windhorst. The NBA insider spoke about the situation on his podcast.

Via Windhorst:

“[Tim] MacMahon, you said I believe last week that you thought that the Jazz would make a Donovan Mitchell trade before the [regular season] opener,” Windhorst said. “And it sounds to me in talking to people around the league that the Jazz want to try to go even sooner than that. They want to go before training camp.

“… It does sound as I talk to folks in the league that the Jazz are trying to apply the gas here,” Windhorst continued. “To try to juice the offer, especially juice the offer from the New York Knicks.”

The Knicks are currently the frontrunners to land Mitchell.

The Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat are other possible destinations, according to Ian Begley.

“… some members of the Nets organization like where the roster is at the moment and don’t feel a sense or urgency to pursue Mitchell,” Begley wrote. “Miami would probably need to engage a third team to produce enough draft capital to satisfy Utah. The Heat can currently trade three future first-round picks.”

The Knicks need to pull the trigger on this deal, because it sounds like they’re the only ones getting in the way of making a deal happen.
