Ten days after Rudy Gobert’s transfer to Wolves, free agency suddenly calmed down. In Utah also where we seem to be satisfied with the players recovered, and where we do not plan to find a base at Donovan Mitchell. The project is to build around it, and this was confirmed by GM Justin Zanik. Here’s what he said at a press conference when a reporter asked if Mitchell was involved in trade talks.
« Things are changing in the NBA, and I can’t sit here and tell you somebody’s (untouchable)« , said Zanik. « We’re trying to build a team to win the title, and we have no intention of (trading Mitchell). »
Better, according to the GM, Mitchell has validated the recent changes, and he is therefore ready for the challenge.
« Considering all transactions made, we are seeking feedback on potential changes in the workforce“, explains Zanik. ” Donovan is very supportive of everything we do. He has already forged links with coach Will Hardy within Team USA. We are in contact with him and his representatives, to keep him informed, and we will continue to do so. I think this is a great opportunity for him. It is obvious that he is a player with a strong character, very motivated, who wants to become a great player. We are going to continue to give him the means to do so and to accomplish himself. »
