Would be extremely nice and considerate by Danny and Ryan to only negotiate with the two teams of Don’s choice.
Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
You’re right. It would be Donovan for Herro plus their draft pick this year (Jovic) plus 3 unprotected firsts and 3 pick swaps.

So you in your mind believe that Don asked for a trade, told the team you can only trade me to these 2 teams, and we said okay Don, we’ll accept less to make you happy.
When did I say that? Lmao I’m merely talking about a potential Heat package.
Check the date on that. That's old. It said that the player's camp would start leaking stuff this week. When did that cryptic Mitchell post come out on IG ?
Damn right it wouldn't be enough. OG is a 3D wing. That's nice, but he's not all that.

I just find it hard to believe that Woj wouldn’t be on the front line helping Don get out if he asked to be traded.

Don won’t be hard to trade and Miami’s offer probably isn’t even in the top 10 of potential packages we could move him for.
If this is real, it's being pushed by CAA who has basically asked that Mitchell be traded. They gave a couple destinations that they prefer, ranked 1 and 2. Miami is allegedly the #1 destination. CAA is allegedly willing to keep things quiet, but if they don't get what they want they'll start getting louder.
Mitchell doesn't really have leverage, however. And if the Jazz want to trade Mitchell, they can take their sweet time and find the right situation.

Getting louder about what? That he wants to be traded. That’d give the Jazz more leverage because then any team interested would call and make an offer. Danny Ainge has been around the block, I doubt he’s getting punked by Donovan Mitchell and CAA into trading him to Miami for a crap return when the team still controls him for 3 seasons.
Jazz can hold Mitchell out for half the season if they want to. Lose games, improve their draft position, and get the haul they want when they're ready to move him.
If they can find a sucker that is horny about three picks in the 20’s and probably 0 picks swapping to be a 3rd or 4th team in the deal that sends better value, then maybe you think about it I guess.
How am I so sure they will be late picks?
-the Heat are easily a top-3 organization; front office, coaching, and culture
-Miami is a top glamour market, maybe THE glamour market
-They historically are almost never bad, even when they own their own picks
There is no team in the league with as much assured consistent success as the Miami Heat. Not within a mile. Everyone knows they can rebuild on the fly like no one else.
If the Jazz put Mitchell on the block, they'll proactively call certain teams and ask for the return they want. They're not going to be bullied.

I agree. So I don’t really put a lot of weight into that rumored player being Donovan.
Right. All we know is that it sounds like Miami is chasing Mitchell. Utah can tell Miami to go fishing.

The absolutely melt down on here if we traded him to Miami days after hiring Fiz and with Wade as an owner would be historic
It's been reported that Miami is trying to trade for Mitchell. A big offer came in on Monday, aligning with the posts from that message board to the hour. So I don't know what you're trying to dispute here.
