Mitchell is an elite talent.  The Jazz historically have not had that go to guard that the rest of the league is in love with.  I won't be happy unless they trade for another 25 ppg scorer and we are not getting Devin Booker or Ja Morant back in trade.  And I wouldn't risk it with lottery picks.  It's such a risky proposition.  Keep in mind that the Jazz keep raising their ticket prices every year.  The new owner needs to fill the seats with exciting winning basketball and is he willing to risk losing season ticket holders if he trades the face of the franchise and one of the faces of the NBA.  Do you think the fans were happy when Ty Corbin was the coach.  If I remember, and if I am wrong I apologize, you took time off from following the team and so did a lot of others.  And Mitchell saved the franchise when Hayward stabbed Gail Miller in the back.  He has done everything the franchise has asked and more.

However, if the state of Utah goes through and upholds the law banning transgenders from playing sports and the Jazz lose the All-Star game next season, then I can see Mitchell leaving as he is very much social minded and will not put up with something that he doesn't theoretically need to.

All that said, there is still four games left to right the ship and the Jazz had a private team meeting today.  Let's hope that some of the issues can be worked out and they play above their abilities in the playoffs.
