After waking up and reading my Twitter timeline on Friday morning, I was a little worried the Utah Jazz might be entering into rebuilding mode within the next year. The reason why?
A story from The Athletic was published, from which a source claimed the relationship between Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert was not “salvageable”. In other words, it looked like the Jazz would be forced into choosing to build around only one of their All-Star duo.
I had already gone through scenarios in which the Jazz could find a trade partner to reload around Rudy Gobert, or start a rebuild around Donovan Mitchell.
