The only thing I question is what is Utah's plan if they were to move Gobert. If they traded him in a Mavs package, it is tough to see them as a contender anytime soon. Maybe you can argue they aren't a contender now, but in theory at least they look like a contender on paper. That opens up the question what happens with Mitchell. They want Mitchell to be a long timer in Utah but there has already been some whispers that he may want a bigger market. Even if he does not get along with Gobert, moving him for Hardaway, Maxi and picks probably accelerates the timeline he asks to be out. And Utah is not exactly a FA hot spot. So unless a Mitchell trade was coming and this is a full scale blowup, I fear another team could beat Dallas' offer. Would Atlanta throw Capella and a few youngsters?
