Joining the likes of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Russell Westbrook, Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell is another NBA star with an uncertain future as the 2022-23 season nears.

According to Spence Checketts of ESPN700 in Utah, the Jazz have some attractive offers from teams "outside of New York."

The Knicks have seemed like the most logical trade partner for the Jazz, and the two sides reportedly re-engaged trade talks earlier this month. However, compensation could be a stumbling block. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported Wednesday that the Knicks offered Julius Randle as part of a trade package for Mitchell, while the Jazz prefer R.J. Barrett.

The sixth-year pro led the Jazz averaging 25.9 points per game last season, adding 5.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.5 steals over 67 regular-season games.
