Donovan Mitchell could be on the move with reports indicating the Utah Jazz are open to trading the NBA superstar. There was immediately plenty of speculation on where Mitchell could land and potential trade partners for the Jazz.
Some reports linked Mitchell to the Miami Heat, who could offer a package of Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and picks, but another team has emerged as the odds-on favorite.
According to the oddsmakers, the New York Knicks are the heavy favorite to make a trade for Mitchell, who was born in New York and grew up playing AAU basketball for The City and Riverside Hawks programs in New York City.
