Nice Guys Finish Last

[George W]

It's particularly sad that the nicest guy associated with the Jazz in the last ten years got fired into the cold abyss of Minnesota, while the turnstile who never supported him & never had his back gets the applause line & the keys to the car.

DM is about a 95% lock for leaving Utah in his next contract, and never showed one iota of understanding of the issues plaguing this team (meanwhile, as Andy Larsen realized, Gobert always hit the nail on the head).

It will be hard to root for this team. There are so many signs pointing to a gross team culture -- no athlete reacting to Rudy's departure, two (now former) teammates reacting to Quin's departure. The absolute worst vibes on any Jazz team I've ever seen-- and among the worst in any NBA team ever going back 10+ years.

Even this goofy *** coach we just hired -- the only glimmer of hope we have in this organization rn is Danny Ainge.

The trade was an unbelievable haul -- a sort of trade you can't not make for someone heading into the later half of their career. But this trade in isolation without firing off Donovan is just gross.
I hope they send him off too. But we'll see.

He will be gone within a year. It will suck *** to have him on the team until then, but he will be gone.

Worthy of its own post if only to regurgitate 200 out of the 400 pages in the draft forum.

At least you didn't post it where it dont belong.

Yeah that’s really ****** that not one player wrote a goodbye to Rudy or anything.

What if he really is that much of a prima donna? That could be great for us for how things go in Minny!!!

Rudy was the best teammate of all-time if you didn’t know that.

I believe JIngles and Alex Jensen's wife posted some nice things about Rudy.

Jingles is an adult.

I’d guess half of the roster was afraid of upsetting Don and therefore didn’t post. The remaining half dozen players or so are probably too dumb or too inactive on social media to give a damn.

Bogey is the guy who is curious. He seems to be mature and probably not give a **** what Don thinks. Is he active on social media at all?

Yes, they are all worried what Donovan will think of them.

imagine being scared not to say goodbye to a teammate getting traded because of what Donovan will think

absolute garbage, childish vibes with no leadership. this is what happens when Whole Foods John Lucas III is leading your team

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic.

Probably because no one on the currently feels sense of team. Most of the roster probably thinks they are about to get traded.

Also players do things on stories a lot that dont get picked up by people. Then a day later someone points out "omg there are no post on his twitter about it" and everyone freaks out because the story no one cared about a day ago is now gone.

I checked all of their IGs out of curiosity in the 48h following the trade. Only Royce O'Neale shared something. Joe talked about it too. No one else did.
