NBA news: Is it time for Donovan Mitchell and Utah Jazz to part ways?

While Gobert denied those rumours, there's been some reported tension between the two players over the past couple of years. 

There's also been plenty of buzz that suggests that Mitchell - who is an Elmsford, New York native - does not want to spend his entire career in Utah, despite being under contract until the 2026 off-season.

He has been in the play-offs every year of his career, but has never made it past the second round.

Mike Conley is only getting older and may be best served as a back-up point guard on a contender at this stage of his career.

The New York Knicks could be a potential destination for Mitchell, given his local ties to the area. What's more, he wanted the Knicks to draft him back in 2017.

The Heat have a bunch of 3-point shooters surrounding their duo, but having Mitchell's shot creation in addition to his shooting will go a long way to elevate this team as a legitimate threat to win a championship.
