While there’s a real issue there, I think the real problem is Snyder.
It is time to at least try a new coach. If…IF the Jazz have one more season of both guys, they need to try a new coach. If it’s still not working, I guess you’ll have to trade one of them as we head into our All Star game.
 
I don't want to pick a side, but if I have to I go with Gobert all day every day. He is the biggest impact player on this team and it isn't close. He could be an even bigger impact player if his teammates tried getting him the ball a little more often. If they did that they'd also get a few more open looks from outside as other teams would be more worried about Gobert scoring in the paint, but whatever.

But Snyder gets to reap all the benefits of a public Rudy/DM controversy in the same way that KOC and Greg were able to have their failings play out as “Sloan vs. DWill.”
 
Reality is that this team has better metrics all day, every day when Rudy is on the floor vs. DM. And it’s not even close.

DM would give us a better haul back in terms of assets. I will take a perennial DPOY over a guy who lights up the scoreboard at an inefficient rate.

There’s no salvaging this.
 
If I have to side with one it's Rudy, especially after his freeze out yesterday.

That said I wish they could get their acts together, but the relationship is probably too toxic. And I also agree that Quin is largely to blame for the mess the Jazz are in
 
I’m going to be in the minority no doubt, because even though it’s easy to see that Gobert has the bigger impact than anyone else, I still voted to remove him from the equation if that’s what we have to do, because he also has far and away the biggest impact on our roster building ability.

Between his massively over-inflated contract and his inability to generate a single possession of offense on his own, this team will be hamstrung from getting the piece(s) we need as long as he is getting paid what he does.

(It’s only going to get worse as he ages and gets deeper into the 40s of Millions per year)
 
If I had to decide who has to be traded I would chose Donovan because he is less impactfull and he can get us more return. I would also love to see Rudy surrounded by true athletic two way wings who can play perimeter defense. But I am not getting too excited by all this drama about the personalities, it's just pity that they can't get it together. But who really knows what really happened in the locker room that caused it and how they really reacted? I actually think both Rudy and Don are immature and none has the quality of a leader this team needs.
