It’s about all. I’ll give it to Rudy he didn’t get the full max the first time around, nor did he hold the franchise to the full supermax the 2nd time around. Donovan wanted a player option, and the easiest path to the super max he could find, along with pressuring the organization the entire time. Rudy actually gave a little both times. Donovan on the other hand…..well Ryan Smith saved around $33 million+ tax because Donovan didn’t make any all NBA teams. Had he, the Jazz tax bill would be even more extreme. How that’s all going to end is no title, Mitchell slithering his way out, and never even a WCF with ridiculous tax circumstances. Does that suck? Sure, but your “committed” super star is giving you an impossible 3 year window, and it’s going to result in nothing. If Mitchell had the patients for a 5-6 year truly committed window, I actually do think they could find a way to win a championship with a couple bad years.
