The Utah Jazz acquired a combined seven first-round picks, three picks swaps and a long list of players headlined by Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler in trades for franchise cornerstones Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
It was a particularly rough first-round series for Mitchell, whose scoring effectiveness just wasn't the same following his 38-point showing in Game 1. Over the final three games of the series, which were all Cleveland losses, Mitchell averaged 20.3 points, 5.0 assists and 5.0 turnovers on 25-for-63 shooting from the field and 5-for-24 from 3 while attempting just eight total free throws.
Mitchell and Gobert have now each failed to advance beyond the first round of the playoffs in four of the past five seasons. And to no surprise, NBA Twitter roasted the two ex-Jazz teammates for their early playoff exits.
