What's new

Mitchell says he told Jazz to keep Gobert

Yeah... I heard on some Ringer pod where they were like "I think Don realizes he needs to be a better defender and it will happen now"... I lol'd... homies we been there for multiple seasons when Don said he was gonna get better on that end. If he magically turns it on now then why didn't he do it earlier if he really wanted this **** to work out. If he really wanted this stuff to work out there were easy action items he could have taken.

He will have a DWill come to Jesus moment where he realizes it was pretty good here and maybe he should have appreciated it a bit more... we may have that moment too of course.
Could happen both ways. And Don works on his D just as soon as Rudy works on his post game.
 
Who cares what DM said or thought. His play for the last two years has been appalling and selfish. I'm thrilled that we got valuable assets in trade for him.

I'd rather look up old videos of Andre Kirilenko explaining why he bought vacation plane tickets during the playoffs than hear about anything that Mitchell thinks about his former situation in Utah.
 
I think Donovan left out part of the Quote...

Here's the unredacted version:

"I want to go to NY. If you're gonna trade me to some **** hole like Cleveland, Ohio then don't trade Gobert. Let's figure this out, let's do."
 
The Cleveland honeymoon will show that Don can be a defender, great passer and an elite scorer. After the honeymoon he'll be back to 4th quarter Westbrook.
Jazz don't get Cleveland picks till 25+. So the trade will look like the Jazz and cavs tied the trade for the first couple seasons.
Sexton and Lauri on there own might be equal value for Mitch. Then add Abaji and the picks and swaps plus the real chance Cleveland will be a wasteland in a few years. The Jazz should be picking gold.
Clevelands future is going to be interesting. Will their young guys demand out, or will they be traded to recoup a few picks they lost with the Mitch trade?

I think 100% Mitchell wanted to run it back. He wanted two more years in Utah then to do a quiet ask out in his final year if things didn't go well.
Big Danny Ainge fan here! Beat him to the lunch and sent him to Cleveland lmao.
 
I can’t say enough just how satisfying it is this douche is not on my team anymore. The part in the interview where he tries to act like he disagreed with Ainges assessment is funny stuff. You were a pathetic team and you were one of the most pathetic parts about it. You were a horrendous leader and you deserved the trade you got. And at the end of the day, you won’t have played long enough stretches of your career or accomplished enough in those places to have any sort of real legacy. Bye bye loser. Enjoy Cleveland.
 
I would be so bummed as a Cavs fan after today. Conversely, I feel better about the trade on our end. Hopefully he does to that team what he did to ours for our sake.
That man at his press conference said “I was a Lebron fan but I was a Cleveland fan” He has no shame whatsoever lying for whatever PR he can, even if it’s the most obvious lie in the world lol. Sad for Cavs fans they have to deal with this douche.
 
This is nothing but image control by Mitchell. Ainge stained his image so he needs to repair it. But the whole world could see it. The stats showed it, and the results were self-evident.
