I think you might be reading too much into it.
Nah. You are just looking at contracts and that is a tiny fraction in today’s NBA. if Mitchell says he wants out he will get out. He has boatloads and boatloads of leverage. Jazz have very little.
The dude is seeing all this **** man. It was brought up on a live stream with him and Royce last night. He’s seen the damn reports and comments. All he had to do was say “wish my teammate Rudy all the best in his recovery” but he’s being a bitch and can’t even do it. He could literally put the fire out and he doesn’t want to. What trash. Like this is not who he says he is or has ever acted like he is.
He requests a trade he’s fake as ****. But honestly it wouldn’t really surprise me if he’s actually using this as leverage to get him out not Rudy.

That is not a direct quote. You know what paraphrase is: it's the writer's opinion or summary of what the source said. We didn't hear Donovan say that, did we? I was a news reporter; I know a reporter can alter an article without it being untrue but with their own interpretation of the facts, which may be biased.
Watch Donovan’s video. He refuses to address. He’s fine with the rumors flying. And he’s fine with the hate flying. Donovan is such a great teammate. Yet he’s rather be petty.

I see the same crap on Facebook. People making up their minds about something without sufficient knowledge. Maybe there is a rift and there is a problem between Donovan and Rudy. But we don't know that. The media seems to be hyping it based on their own speculation but there are no direct quotes confirming it.
Donovan could have easily put some water on that fire in this video with a few ****ing words.

I haven't seen the video. Saw the one on Twitter. No reason to mention Rudy there. And from what I've seen the fire has been created by the media. Just like the Corona Virus Emergency. We've actually had worse epidemics than this in the past: SARS and MERS, according to one article I just read.

If any of these two wanna sit and pout about it thats on them.
As far as our fanbase? I'm pretty disappointed in what garbage it's become. We used to be the best now we do nothing but spew hate and venom about whoever is the flavor of the day.

It’s funny that Donovan’s being passive-aggressive, but because he’s not being aggressive-aggressive, people are convinced he’s done nothing. That’s the beauty of deniability with passive-aggressiveness.
I say let’s all let this go. If there is a rift they will either work it out, or not. This is not a problem for fans on a message board to solve. The virus is a big deal. I think we can give everyone, especially those who actually have it, a little time to sort out their feelings about it and how they may have caught it.
I am a fan of the Utah Jazz and I support our players. Donovan and Rudy are Utah Jazz players and both have my complete support. Go Jazz!

This. Very much this.
Yes. He absolutely could and quite honestly should have put just something in there.
That dude is wearing a KoRn shirt I had in the 90s.
As was said, Rudy’s bad look is already done and he’s on the do good tour. Donovan’s still on the petty tour.
Rudy donates $500,000 to arena employees and those impacted by the virus in Oklahoma and France. Donovan sent rumors to Woj. Rudy sent $500,000 to those impacted and apologized.

Unless someone in the locker room tells Woj what actually happened in the locker room we may never know.
It sounds like Rudy did or said something that bothered most of his teammates. Oni didn’t know and had to be told to get on board to show their displeasure with Rudy. Most likely DM said something vague to Woj.
It probably has been building and Rudy will say something. The guards haven’t been giving him the ball. He says something, they get bent out of shape, he makes a dumb joke they use it to make him look bad and refuse to support him during a tough even if deserved time. Buddies have their bro’s backs even when they are in the wrong. It looks like Rudy has no true friends in the locker room.
This makes me wonder if it’s basketball with poor taste jokes, or did he do something like spit in DMs water bottle and they all knew it and now DM has he virus. They know something, are ticked, but they draw the line on passive aggressive comments but won’t call him out in person? They will log in under a pseudonym or have a friend do it to plead their cases or against the other, but they won’t FaceTime have this out like adults should?
I know nothing, this is just what the saga says to me so far.
I don’t care if I even find out, but Rudy, DM, and the rest of the team need to really hash things out from top to bottom and get to a place they can move on so they can play ball when this is over.
If this is how the new NBA is, I might be done. I’m not going to waste money, time, or emotion in my life on this soap opera crap. I can experience any of this for free, on any channel, or at work, or in my neighborhood.

I don't see what's wrong with this message. He is simply telling people of his status and gives a shout out to Jazz fans.
So y'all think he hates Gobert because he doesn't mention him? Does he also hate Canada since he didn't check on the Canadian Prime Minister? Or Arsenal soccer because he doesn't check in on Arteta?
The spit in the bottle theory makes sense. Or if Rudy licked something of Donovan's. If that type thing happened, Donovan deserves credit for not going off.
