Utah president Danny Ainge doesn&#8217;t know Bryant, but if he&#8217;s strongly considered, then it&#8217;s a sign Mitchell is influencing matters despite being disappointed. <\/p>\n<p>According to sources, former Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts is the early favorite and recently fired Lakers coach Frank Vogel also could command a look.  Reportedly, Celtics assistant Will Hardy will get an interview, too. <\/p>\n<p>Mitchell is a client of Creative Artists Agency so Knicks president Leon Rose, former CAA basketball chief, could have intel on where Mitchell&#8217;s head is. <\/p>\n<p>Mitchell, who is from Westchester, was noncommittal after the Jazz&#8217;s playoff ouster.  League sources believe Mitchell eventually will request a trade, but it might not be until next summer. <\/p>\n<p>If Bryant leaves for Utah, that would mean all three of the assistants senior executive William Wesley hired for Tom Thibodeau&#8217;s staff will have bolted for head-coaching jobs.
