Utah will not trade Mitchell for anything less than a huge overpay. So without Barnes involved you are probably looking at something like Van Vleet, Trent, Precious, and probably multiple first round picks. But realistically there's no chance Mitchell is actually available. It is Gobert who will be available, and he ain't no superstar. If you cannot create your own shot you are not a superstar. The reality is there just aren't any logical stars you can get that don't include trading Barnes, unless a Kawhi-type one year rental comes along.

We gotta remember that Masai isn't going to be desperate yet. If there is any trade this offseason it'll be to improve this team's depth. I think part of why they are going home quickly here is because they leaned so heavily on the starters all year that they are running close to empty right now. Need to be able to play those guys closer to 30 minutes a night instead of closer to 40.
