So, he missed that part of your magic formula?
Donovan.....side-steps again
- Thread starter oneye
- Start date
Speaking of the championship parade, I was looking at taking my wife up to San Juan Islands in June, then driving into Vancouver, BC and doing the Sea-to-Sky Highway. It’s a three day weekend that third weekend in June, so that’s the only time we’d be able to do that. I see the finals end on June 19, so I’d either be gone if/when we won or, worse, on a flight Friday night when we’d win. Or if we swept it means the weekend of the parade would be the weekend I was gone and I wouldn’t be able to take my son to it.
Been waiting on this forever. Scheduling a trip during that time definitely means it will happen, right?

I think a big part of how long he stays has to do with our success, or lack thereof. If we get to the Finals, or at least the WCF I think it prompts him to stay for the success. If we continually get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round I think he looks to leave sooner rather than later. In the meantime I am going to enjoy what we have and not worry too much about what may or may not happen 2-4 years from now.

Make sure all the deposits are non-refundable and do not get any travel insurance. Your sacrifice is our gain.
I'm okay with it. I'd just like a little more honesty. Like if you aren't going to just answer the questions legitimately don't even do this **** interview. What has grown so old is how hard he tries to protect his image of never being the issue. If you're going to do an interview setting the record straight. Set the f****** record straight you coward.
When asked directly about Utah. Answer directly about Utah in an interview saying you are "setting the record straight". He did this interview by choice, he took that question by choice. Now answer the question you loser.
With these kind of nonsense answers and the way Donovan acts I'd never trade our 2026 or 2027 1st round picks. You can't successfully do what he wants the franchise to do if they feel his foot is already out the door. It's why the Bucks could go all in for Giannis, they felt he was actually committed. Portland whiffed it with Dame so that can happen. The Jazz need to stop catering to him in the way they do when clearly they don't trust him enough to trade those picks like they didn't this deadline.

Until that man is gone.....I'll be here.
The answer is he said he's very happy, and he's currently playing in Utah. Donovan saying "in Utah" doesn't change either of those facts, it's just an extra condition that you think magically changes what he said.
As for me being a loser, I lose all the time. It's part of playing with good competition.
What's Donovan supposed to say, "I love living in Utah. I'm getting two golden retrievers, a house boat for Lake Powell, and a new trailer for my snowmobiles..."
Dude isn't going to say that Utah is his year-round home because it isn't. I don't think any of the players live here much in the off-season. Maybe Joe Ingles does (or did).
Why isn't there a story that asks if Rudy Gobert is happy in Utah? I'm sure he'd rather spend his summers in the French Riviera.

LOL, that's great. Could see it being used a lot.
Because Rudy can be direct when answering a question when asked about it and doesn't try to CAA BS line PR his way through a question. He and Rudy clearly have a relationship of "we aren't friends but we're co-workers" and he makes sure to say they're fine as TEAMMATES. They clearly don't have a great relationship, and yet he can bring himself to publicly at least say something in regards to it. At this point he just totally tries to avoid saying he likes the organization, his situation, or being where he's at in any way. Don't let that motherf***** door hit you in the *** on the way out douche. And here's the thing, it's absolutely to do with the fact he got his feelings hurt that he got some backlash when he decided to be a politician. Welcome to the real world Donovan, there will always be those who negate from what you think.
The question was specifically and purposely about Utah. Please don't tell me this answer is doing anything but making sure Utah isn't a part of it lol : “Im living my dream, playing with great teammates, of course im happy”
No one asked him about his teammates or dreams. They asked him about the location he is playing in. It's such a politicians handbag to make sure a question is asked so you can pretend you have to answer it, then answer it with **** that no one asked you.
Is that what you call virtue signaling? Thank god Donavan lives up to your super high morals, and cares about poor disadvantaged kids, same as you. You really sound like a really really good person. Thanks for filling us in. I’m kind of in awe of how awesome you are!
In which state is he based while he is living his dream and playing with great teammates?
Is that one too hard for you?
No, he said that to explain why he's happy.
Where do you think he's living his dream and playing with great team mates?
I understand that Mitchell didn't use your magic formula. Too bad for you.
That is so far from what JFFR wrote (he was talking primarily about Mitchell) that I hope you use better reading skills if you ever have to operate heavy machinery.
Donovan didn't answer a certainty pre-screened, and intentional question, but he sure wanted to do a dance and make some feel like he did.
As Tim MacMahon put it on ESPN700 today "If you're a Jazz fan and you're reading what he said as any sort of commitment, perhaps you're being a little naive" He also mentions "I appreciate Donovan and his agent trying to make a calculated play to get out and get in front of this narrative, but it's not like anything he said was much". In regards to wanting out Tim also mentions "on that question you're gonna get the answer in due time, and actions speak a whole lot louder than words, especially when the words leave a lot of wiggle room.....I just think it's a fragile situation, and I will stick with what I've already said".
Spence on Donovan: "I've been told Donovan's kind of like a robot, he is told what to say(by CAA) and he says it, and he does a really good job with it, should we take him at his word?"
Tim: Essentially "NO".

Where did he touch Tim MacMahon because he agrees with me?
