I sent that exact quote to my buddy right after Bilas said that.  Hilarious.  The top guy on his board!  He just needs to work on his efficiency, shot selection, and he has to try on defense.  Sign me up

If Mitchell was dead set on leaving the Jazz (im not saying he is, i have no reason, Gobert antics aside, to think he wants to leave), he could turn down the Jazz offers, not sign an offer sheet, and take a 1 year deal after his fourth year.  He would be an UFA after his fifth year.

But like, no one does that.  I think David Lee did back in like 2009, but he's not Donovan Mitchell.  The Jazz are going to presumably throw a max extension at him and he's almost certainly going to sign it.  Going the one year deal really never does happen, you're turning down so much guaranteed money.  Plus, stars have so much leverage now, even if he wanted to leave, he could just sign the max and then in like a year start agitating for a trade anyway.
