I just don't see Mavs having the assets for Gobert. Some of the deals being offered here are way to low imo. He has a huge contract and that will impact things, but I don't think Utah is going to be interested in our bad contracts. Maybe I am wrong though. The only reason Gobert may be moved is him and his team have come up short in the playoffs for several years. If they hadn't, Gobert isn't being moved. That is the case with a lot of these type of guys who are moved.
Utah is going to have a real interesting off-season. What is the value of Mitchell? It appears he will not be with the Jazz for his full career. Maybe they move Mitchell and keep Gobert??? Could they get RJ Barrett and Toppin for Mitchell or is that too much? If the Knicks don't bite, how many offers are out there with top tier young talent is there? How would a Barrett, Toppin, Bogdan and Gobert pairing work? Could they find another younger, cheaper, bigger point guard somewhere? Or do they just decide to blow things up and look way down into the future and move Gobert too? That is really tough for a city like Utah.
I think Turner is more likely if the Mavs go after a big. He has injury concerns and less years on his contract. In theory, he could tell teams he is not interested in extending and only wants to sign an extension with the Mavs if he wants to be here. I think Charlotte and maybe Toronto could be wildcards though. They could call Turner on his bluff and still trade for him. That seems like a Masai move.
