The Jazz finally made the deal everybody expected -- by making the deal nobody expected. They moved on from All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, but not by trading him to the New York Knicks, whose pursuit of the Westchester County native had been well documented. Instead. the Jazz got three young players, three unprotected picks and a pair of first-round swap options from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who will be the next employer of a player who has brought Utah's fans a lot of joy for five seasons.
Mark Russell Pereira joins Dan Clayton to think back on what Mitchell's tenure meant for fans, and to react to the trade, both from a visceral and an analytical perspective. They look at the rebuilding period ahead of the Jazz and along the way philosophize about fandom.
