Donovan Mitchell is the hottest trade target in the NBA. After Kevin Durant decided to stay with the Brooklyn Nets, the Utah Jazz guard was put in the spotlight. After five years in Salt Lake City, it appears that Donovan Mitchell has decided to move on. Mitchell removed the Utah Jazz from his Twitter bio, possibly indicating that he's on the move.

Mitchell brings a lot to the table. In his first five years in the league, Mitchell established himself as an elite scorer. He's averaged 23.9 points per game for his career.

The 6-foot-1 guard has been linked to numerous teams this offseason, including the Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers. However, no deal has gone through yet, which may change very soon.

Earlier this summer, the Jazz traded Rudy Gobert, one of their cornerstones, and may be looking to rebuild the roster.


Twitter reacts to the bio change

Donovan Mitchell averaged 25.9 points last season, but the Utah Jazz couldn't get far in the playoffs. They were eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks in the first round, ending another disappointing season.

Since Mitchell was drafted, the biggest success the Jazz have had was their second-round exit. This struggle isn't surprising, considering that the West has been dominated by the Golden State Warriors for many years.

Twitter users reacted to Donovan Mitchell changing his bio, believing that he is headed to South Beach.

The Heat have a great roster that was just a few points away from making the NBA Finals last year. With Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Donovan Mitchell, Miami would be a favorite to win the East next season.

Mitchell has also been linked to the New York Knicks this summer. The Knicks would potentially trade some of their young players to the Jazz for the guard.

Some Twitter users believe that Donovan Mitchell's next destination is Los Angeles. If the Lakers manage to trade for the guard, they could become competitive and have a deep playoff run next year.

A few weeks ago, Patrick Beverley made a tweet about the Lakers, which made fans wonder if he was somehow connected to the team. Shortly after, Beverley was acquired by the Lakers via trade.

Twitter can sometimes reveal a lot about players, so this could be the case with Donovan Mitchell's situation.

Some NBA fans are not sold on Mitchell and believe he is overrated. While he has some flaws in his game, there is no doubt that he would positively impact almost every NBA team.

Several Twitter users made fun of the situation and posted some memes.

One Twitter user pointed out how Jazz fans are still in denial. Many believe that Donovan Mitchell will stay on the team, which doesn't seem likely.

However, there is also a chance that the small change on Mitchell's Twitter profile doesn't mean anything. He may have decided to change it without hinting at his future in the NBA.

Finally, a Twitter user believes that the Washington Wizards can acquire the three-time All-Star.
