Good luck finding anyone around the league — outside the state of Utah, anyway — that thinks Donovan Mitchell will be a member of the Jazz a year from now.
But for now, despite the team making moves that suggest a rebuild is coming, the Jazz are shutting down teams that call asking about a Mitchell trade.
Now comes word, via Brian Windhorst at ESPN, that Mitchell himself is not going to ask for a trade. “On Mitchell’s side, he’s going to stand pat.
He’s not going to force any action right now,” Windhorst said on ESPN’s Get Up.
