By the end of the decade, the Jazz’s trade of Rudy Gobert to the Timberwolves may go down as one of the more lucrative deals in NBA history. 'Sometimes these kinds of things work out for the best.” ✍️ Tjonesonthenba
That being said, Mitchell is playing at such an astronomical level right now that, for everything the Cavaliers dealt for him, it’s been worth it. And maybe then some.
The Jazz were smoked 122-99 in Cleveland on Monday night. It was the second consecutive game in which the Jazz were non-competitive over 48 minutes. It was the second straight game in which the Jazz were beaten physically by a bigger and stronger team. It was the second straight game in which head coach Will Hardy went deep into his bench and waved the white flag with over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Whereas Minnesota dealing for Gobert is proving to be a giant gamble now and into the future, the Cavaliers are morphing into title contenders. Mitchell is proving to be the proverbial icing for a team that already had the requisite pieces in hand. And now, Cleveland is 21-11, in third place in the Eastern Conference, possibly the best home-court team in the league and certainly one of the best defensive teams in the league.
They were correct on almost all counts. Markkanen has been a mismatch this season as a versatile power forward playing all over the floor. He’s averaging 22 points and eight rebounds per night. He’s giving the Jazz a No. 1 option on a team that relies on its strength in numbers. He’s someone who should find himself in the All-Star conversation once February rolls around, especially if the Jazz can keep their record above the .500 mark or even better.
