NBA Rumors: Jazz Would Trade Rudy Gobert over Donovan Mitchell but Could Retain Both

The Utah Jazz have some decisions to make when it comes to Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. Will they stay in Utah? Will one be traded?

According to Sarah Todd of Deseret News, if the Jazz were going to trade one player, they would be more willing to deal Gobert. Utah could be looking to keep both players.

Todd wrote that the reports that the Jazz could be looking to keep Gobert and Mitchell for the All-Star break should be taken seriously.

The report comes after Jake Fischer reported last week that there is reason to believe the main fixtures in Utah aren't going anywhere soon.

The Jazz would be more likely to move Mike Conley, Bojan Bogdanovic and Royce O& Neal this summer.

Utah might be hesitant to move their two All-Stars. Gobert just put together one of his best seasons in the NBA, averaging 15.6 points, a league-leading 14.7 rebound and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 71.3 percent from the floor.

Mitchell had a good season, shooting 44.8 percent from the floor and 35.5 percent from deep, and he averaged 25.9 points.

Mitchell could always request a trade. Last week, Fastbreak reported that the veteran guard would be interested in joining the New York Knicks, Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks.

If Mitchell or Gobert were traded, the Jazz would be in a better position to compete for an NBA title. The duo has failed to make it past the conference semifinals in their career together.

There would be a lot of interest in Gobert if the Jazz were to trade him. The Raptors are one of the teams interested in the big man. The Golden State Warriors might be interested in the six-time All-Defensive first-team selection.
