IMO, the picks being a problem, that trade of Conley and picks for SGA, you could either expand it to add Mitchell and Dort on both sides. The money savings should be enough to overcome the difference between SGA and Mitchell. That gives Gobert much needed help on the perimeter. After that they pick up a really good defense minded coach with a good offensive assistant and they could be off to the races again next year. The other thought would be a trade for Dejuante Murray and stuff for Mitchell. That gets them more defense and adds a guy that is closer to Goberts timeline.
I just think Utah is in a weird place. If I had to pick between the two, I'd show loyalty to Mitchell but if I had to guess, Gobert is more likely to show loyalty back. In reality I don't think Mitchell is that dude but is way too good to ever let you be bad enough to pair him with that dude. And Gobert is immature and there is something about him that a lot of players in the league don't like. He's also grossly overpaid. You could probably get a ransom for Mitchell and someone would give you something for Gobert. I don't hate your idea of SGA, Dort, Clarkson, Gobert though.
