Rumor: Gobert wants Jazz to decide between him or Mitchell

Sucks on Joe if true just because he appears to be such a big family dude… but I guess greed and sex are undefeated.

People who look for perfection in athletes need a reality check. All humans are flawed and none of us have access to what is really going on in the locker room. Players do not have to be best buddies to perform well on the court. Yes, I would hate to think I would be judged on one human moment where I wasn't at my best. Athletes are constantly under the microscope with anyone saying anything even if it is not true. This would be hard to live day in and day out. The idea that fans make decisions who to keep on the team based upon their public perspective of a player is a frightening thought. I doubt that is how the franchise thinks which is a good thing. However sometimes I feel the Jazz as an organization act with their hearts and not their heads. I hope this doesn't happen this summer. It is going to be an interesting off-season for sure.

Very true, culture is important tho, if you look at things done this year to make Donovan happy, firing the doctor, bringing in Paschall to caddy for him. Have they put a family member on the payroll yet? Is he a professional athlete or some high school kid they're trying to get a verbal commitment off by shouting him hookers on campus visit? You've got Rudy on the other hand, saying he wants to stay at Utah, win a title here, retire here, culture is so important in these environments.

Because they were both a fallacy. The rockets dismantled our staunch defense with ease and the mavs easily stopped our #1 offense. The common denominator is Quin

We held the Rockets to below their season norms, but they completely stifled our offense.
 
Imma go ahead and say Joe is still perfect and is just a red herring… it’s definitely Quin out there banging employees… I mean he’s having his hips replaced… we
think he got those problems at the disco tech… if it looks like a coke head who bangs strippers and walks like a coke head who bangs strippers then it’s probably… well you know.

I think Ingles is pretty Stocktonesk and just doesn’t like being bothered. Donovan’s definitely got that “I’m better than you” vibe.

Some people will accept any amount of nonsense to keep their worldview open.

Although, bringing Stockton into the comparison seems ironic here.

I'm not buying it. But who knows? Dude i used to work with was married, had a family, pretty straight edged compared to the rest of us, he was always screwing girls at work, few years later he's a convicted paedophile. I guess what I'm saying is, you never know what goes on behind closed doors, its like when you find out somebody you know and like beats their wife and you're like what? So much evil **** happens in private. Fortunately I live in a country with a cost of living so high I'll be sleeping on a tram stop before too long....

Missing their leading scorer and one of the best playmakers in the game, and then getting him back somewhat hobbled, had something to do with that.

I agree but how much run is left in Rudy? One or two years? Big guys decline quickly.

I think he’s gonna get at least three more years of this tier of performance and another three still being a huge deterrent at the rim (but probably not as good on the perimeter).

Rudy has at least those 2-3 years at this level.

Don on the other hand is already a year into his Stephon Marbury years.

he looks a step slower this year, that could just be better defensive coverage or a downturn in conditioning and preparation.
 
I will probably get flamed for this but I think De'Aaron Fox is a player that we should be targeting for Mitchell. I think Fox would be an incredible fit with Gobert. Mitchell has more value than Fox so I think we could probably get Fox and the 7th pick for Mitchell and Gay. At the 7 spot the dream pick would be Mathurin. We would suddenly go from a poor perimeter defensive team to potentially a really good perimeter defensive team. Pair good perimeter defense with Gobert and you have something special.

Fox and #7 for Mitchell is interesting. This draft is deep at the top in my opinion. You could still land someone like Keegan Murray potentially or AJ Griffin.

Conley needs to get moved at that point too. I still like my Marcus Morris swap idea for him.

PG - De’Aaron Fox
SG - #7 pick
SF - Bojan Bogdanovic
PF - Marcus Morris
C - Rudy Gobert

I’m with it.

Not crazy at all… I proposed that as well… you want to get something that replaces Don and a scratcher that could be more. Fox is a buy low guy but his shot might not ever fully come around. His defense makes Donovan look solid right now but that might be partly playing in Sacramento

If we could somehow move Conley in a deal for Morris and Terrance Mann it would be a homerun for us. The clippers have enough depth at the wing that I think they would move Mann in a trade like that. That would be adding 2 more solid defensive players to the rotation. That turns us into an incredible perimeter defensive team.

Im not on board with Fox, Dejounte Murray and some salary filler for Mitchell would float my boat.
