Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

He also led us to losing in the 1st round against a Dallas team that didn't even have their best player for half the series. How is that being an effective #1 guy on a contender?

Durant got swept by Boston. Tatum got destroyed by Boston last year. Steph didn’t make the playoffs last year. Booker never even made the playoffs until they got CP3. Those dudes not #1 options?
 
I think there was probably a scenario where Gobert could have been moved for OG/GTJ and Bojan plus a pick could be moved for John Collins. That would give us Mitchell/GJ/OG/Collins...

But what's the point if Mitchell is going to be gone after two years? That's a pretty short run if you ask me. So you can see what direction the Jazz have chosen.

I do not recall the direct conversation being a deal of Mitchell for Ayton/Bridges straight across.

It'd be cool if we can do a sign-and-trade for Ayton without involving Don. But if Don's part of the deal for Ayton, we need to get Bridges.

I said I didn't want it. You threw a tantrum.

I clarified later the following:

Ayton + Bridges + a treasure trove of picks would obviously be fantastic, but I don't think that's a realistic return.

A young promising player + a treasure trove of picks is my preference over Ayton/Bridges is my point, for a myriad of reasons.

Toronto wasn’t moving out those guys until Durant is traded

Issue for us has been Donovan has never had a #2 guy. hard to be a contender when Clarkson is your second best scorer

I don't disagree with you. If the Jazz had a foundation of Mitchell / Jaylen Brown / Gobert that team would be really good. But we never had that. The team wasn't built well enough. Now it's time to move on.

Me telling you that you’re underrating Ayton and Bridges is throwing a tantrum? Yet I’m the one who argues like a politician?
 
People think tanks last a decade… what leads teams to being ****** for 10 years is not tanking when it’s obviously something they should do. Absorb the process fully and you will be good in 2-3 years if you have some luck… 3-4 years if you aren’t particularly lucky… maybe less.
