Is this the last stand for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert?
There have been consistent whispers that suggest that this could very well be the final season that Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert play together in Utah. If this team loses in the first round again, there’s a chance that the front office could elect to split up this core.
And it would be outlandish for this team to choose Gobert over Mitchell. If there’s any change coming this offseason, it will likely be in the way of a Gobert trade. Plus, there’s a whole dynamic between the two that everyone will also be watching.
Winning generally cures all in the NBA. And if the Jazz is able to beat the Mavs, there’s no question that some of the whispers are going to die down.
