I’d love this beyond belief. No chance it happens as I don’t think Toronto would do it. But this would keep us fairly young, give us a stretch 4/longer dude there and help solidify our defense next to Rudy while not losing too much on offense.
 
Does anyone actually think we’d get someone better than Siakam? At this age. Who plays defense. And would fit our culture. If so, name me someone. Cause it ain’t ****ing happening. And like I said, I personally think the Eaptors would say no as they recognize the importance of defense…

Yeah, why would we want a stretch 4 at 22.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals who plays defense like we need at the 4 and is hitting a decent 35.4% from 3?

Because he's older, he shoots league average, he can't create for himself, and he doesn't really work as a 5. He's a nice player, probably a #3 option and complement to star players, but Donovan has significantly more value. Trading Donovan right now, would be like trading Damian Lillard a few years ago.

The Raptors would trade Siakam for Mitchell in a heartbeat. Then they'd throw in Gary Trent Jr. and probably a pick or two.
 
Lol dude the Raptors would do this in a heartbeat. They’d have to add Trent Jr and picks for me to even consider it.
 
If we trade Rudy, I could actually see it being for a package revolving around Siakam....I wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the front office does. I definitely don't see Siakam for Mitchell happening though.

Oh yeah they're going to trade their best player for another shot at a six foot nothing guard line right? It's an unrealistic trade scenario, but not for the reasons indicated. Check out Mitchell's metrics in crunch time and get back to me on that one.

If we could get that haul I would trade Mitchell. Trent Jr is one of the best guard defenders in the NBA plus he is a solid on offense. Siakam, Gobert and Trent jr would make us the best defensive team in the NBA and the offense would still be solid. Ideally Trent is next to Mitchell but even so its okay. We would need a PG going forward but another year of Conley starting and then maybe Butler can step in. Butler so far fouls a decent amount but his defense has been pretty good. Then maybe House and NAW can fill in the other spot going forward. That is a very good team with big potential.

But I could actually see Toronto making that trade, but its a bit of a stretch. Siakam is very good and only 2 years older than Mitchell, but Gary Trent is 2 years younger.
 
I would also gladly take Precious, Trent JR and OG for Mitchell and Royce. Or whatever they wanted not named Gobert to go with them.

Toronto has so many players that Jazz could use.
 
I don’t think Mitchell and VanFleet make much sense for the Raptors.

Siakam is awesome and I have wanted him in Utah a long time. I was hoping he would be available after they drafted Barnes, but with how well he is playing right now I don’t see the Raptors trading him. Maybe a poor showing in the playoffs could change that.
 
I thought the trade deadline had passed?

He can create for himself, has a higher career TS% than Mitchell, is averaging nearly identical points and assists, but rebounds far better, and most importantly plays infinitely better defense. He’s not some 18 point per game scorer. He’s the leading scorer at 22.5 per game for a team that’s been hot as hell the last two months.
 
The thought of a defense led by Gobert and Siakam makes me salivate. I’m not sure trading Mitchell for Pascal is the right move or that Toronto would do it, but man that is a lovely thought to have.
