A lot of "smoke" about Donovan wanting to be in a larger market blah blah blah going on. Personally I don't buy any of it, but it's safe to say we're going to hear about it for the next 4 seasons. If Don remains healthy he's not taking his player option for the 25/26 season so he'll either be an UFA at that time, signed an extension with us, or we will have made a trade. Obviously a lot of this will depend on the team success, but as long as Rudy and Donovan are on this team we should at worst be "good" till this decision becomes an issue. Simple question on the poll though, do you think he'll be with us for that season?
 
No reason not to assume he’s gonna wanna try someplace else. It’s rare a player doesn’t, and if the Jazz don’t get younger soon, it’s gonna be really, really ugly in a couple of years.
 
That is far enough out (5 seasons from now) that Gobert will be starting on the downhill slide, we will have retooled at least one more time after this potential retoolings, probably more than one, and it would be Mitchell working on an extension again, so I voted no. I think he might be here right up to that time frame though. And he could very well be a Jazz lifer, but I kind of doubt it. And really that has nothing to do with the stupid hyped-up fabricated ******** going around right now, just my honest feels.
 
Rudy Gobert will be 33 years old making $46.5 million that season.

If we haven't made a serious title challenge by then AND Rudy is still on the payroll, I think Don is gone.
 
If we're winning, he'd stay. But he's not going to be Lillard and stay forever and toil.

With his last year being a player option, and one where he'll be able to sign another long-term contract for more money assuming his game doesn't suddenly fade away, we realistically have him for 2-2.5 more years as if you think he's going to opt out, you have no choice but to ship him out in '24-'25 to get a return.

Under no circumstance can we lose him and get nothing in return - it would cripple this franchise for at least five years.

Donovan has not one time complained about a teammate, thrown a fit at a ref, said anything bad about the franchise, publicly questioned the coach, etc.

He's been about as professional as any professional athlete can be.

He has always differed to as he calls him "the big guy". He has encouraged Joe to be Joe. He helped push Royce. He let's Clarkson be who he is.

When he has laid it all out there during playoff games as others were absent, he never threw them under the bus or called anyone out.

I don't see why there is so much animosity towards Donovan Mitchell. It blows my mind.
