The Jazz’s decision to part with Rudy Gobert in a blockbuster deal with the Timberwolves led many to assume the team would re-build its roster around Donovan Mitchell.

On Saturday, Jazz general manager Justin Zanik offered a little more insight into where things stand in terms of Mitchell’s future with the club.
When asked if the three-time All-Star is “untouchable” in trade talks, Zanik cited the league’s ever-evolving landscape in his response to reporters.
