At one point during the NBA offseason, Donovan Mitchell was untouchable in trade discussions. However, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Jazz have reportedly shown desire to engage with teams in possible trade scenarios for Utah’s franchise player.
The latest reported news about Mitchell and the Jazz comes three days after general manager Justin Zanik told reporters that the three-time All-Star was not “untouchable” in the league’s free agency period, saying that “change is inevitable” in the NBA.
“I’m not trying to be cryptic or anything else, but Donovan [Mitchell] is on our roster and he’s a very, very important part of what we’re trying to do,” Zanik said on Saturday, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “Things evolve in the NBA, so I couldn’t sit here and say anybody is [untouchable]. We’re trying to build a championship team, but there’s no intent there [to trade Mitchell], at all.”
