The Utah Jazz may have an idea that seemed impossible just a year ago: they’re considering trading Donovan Mitchell.
That’s the latest rumor, anyway, and it looks like a few NBA teams are plotting possible packages to land the superstar.
The mere fact that Mitchell is leaving the Jazz sends shock waves through the league.
Richard Jefferson understands the excitement around Mitchell’s future, but he also sees people being unfair.
For days now, we’ve been hearing people bashing and bashing Kevin Durant for asking to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets, even though he has several years left on his contract.
Yet those same people, according to Jefferson, are open to the idea of Mitchell being traded.
Curious to know where all the “YOU SIGN A CONTRACT” people are now that the Jazz is open for trade @spidadmitchell .. but if he asked for a trade it would be ‘we have to do something for these players’

“But if he asked for a trade, it would be ‘we have to do something about these players,’” Jefferson said, commenting on how people are okay with the Jazz not honoring the full term. out of a contract, but are thwarted by Durant. the same thing.
That’s not a bad point from the former NBA star.
Opponents all around
Durant’s inevitable trade has people with a lot of opinions.
Whether they support Durant or hate him, people are very excited about the whole situation.
It’s gotten to the point that even the NBA has commented on Durant’s desire to leave, while commissioner Adam Silver has said he wants the players to honor their contracts in full.
It is obvious that people feel serious things.
But what you see now will only be taken up a notch whenever Durant’s deal finally closes.
If you think people have opinions now, just wait until Durant finally finds a new home.
