The Utah Jazz might intend to keep Donovan Mitchell as a centerpiece of the franchise.

But that may not stop rival teams from making a run at the three-time All-Star.

Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday the Jazz are trading Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Ian Begley of SNY followed up to report "several teams still view Mitchell as attainable for the right return."

Brian Windhorst also said on NBA Today some executives outside of Utah "think it would be abnormal for Donovan not to want out.

 He also said that  teams are "revving up the possibility of calling Utah and seeing what it's gonna take to get [Mitchell]."

The initial framing from the Jazz is the they intend to keep Mitchell and reorient the roster around him.

Given how their relationship soured, Mitchell may not be heartbroken to see Gobert go.
