NBA Trades: 5 Donovan Mitchell destinations this summer – Dallas Mavericks

If Donovan Mitchell wanted to go to a place where he wouldn’t have to take on a ton of ball-handling duties, there wouldn’t be many places better than Dallas.

Luka Doncic and Mitchell would immediately make the Dallas Mavericks one of the top teams in the West, and the Mavs are already hovering around the four/five seed.

Doncic would have a new co-star and Mitchell would reap the benefits of playing with one of the best playmakers in the entire league. That sounds like a win-win.

Obviously, Dallas would have to muster up a package to send to Utah, but if Mitchell specifically requested to go to Dallas, the Mavs would have something special.

NBA Trades: 5 Donovan Mitchell destinations this summer – Memphis Grizzlies

This might be the dark horse team to snag Mitchell this summer if he does end up asking out. The Memphis Grizzlies are elite this year, and adding Mitchell could elevate them even more.

Ja Morant has emerged as an MVP candidate this season, and the supporting cast around him is one of the best in the business. They’re just a very well-rounded, young team.

Morant and Mitchell would form one of the most dynamic, talented backcourts in the league. The talent level on both ends of the floor would be off the charts.

The rumor states that Mitchell wants to play in a big market, so Memphis might not be for him. But if he wants to compete for championships, he might want to reconsider.
