The Utah Jazz need to thank someone other than the members of the Denver Nuggets’ front office for Donovan Mitchell’s arrival. Sure, the Nuggets made what now looks like an inexplicable draft-day trade, accepting Trey Lyles and Tyler Lydon, two power forwards, for the 21-year-old swingman.

Was Rudy Gobert a top-10 player in the NBA last season? The Utah Jazz sure think so. As general manager Dennis Lindsey said, per Andy Blarsen of KSL.com: [tweet https://twitter.com/andyblarsen/status/882767055631417345] This is…quite the proclamation.

Gordon Hayward’s path to the Boston Celtics has taken yet another turn for the weird. Surprise, surprise. The All-Star combo forward agreed to join the Celtics on a four-year, $128 million deal this past Tuesday, a decision that was rife with screw-ups and leaks and general awkwardness.
