Still A Harsh Reality... Players not wanting to play in Utah

I can't really blame anyone for not wanting to live in Utah, since I personally don't want to live in Utah either. There are definitely much worse places to live though (I actually made a list in one of the other threads). The good news is that there are different strokes for different folks. A lot of people love living in Utah. Also, for the majority of players they are going to go where they will make the most money and have the best chance to succeed as a player.
 
So one guy out of the entire draft said that and they spend an article trying to presume who it was? Look, we all know there are players who don't want to be drafted here or come here in free agency. Danny, Justin, and the rest are working around that quite well. I imagine once this team is at contender level status, well, winning is a great deodorant.
 
Just guessing but it's possible every NBA team has had someone at some time say they don't want to play there
We just don't hear about it Maybe someone has said they don't want to play in LA NY MIami Chicago etc
Dwyane Wade is a part owner He seems to like Utah He must be playing some role in recruiting free agents etc
 
Feels like any progress the team had made in at least getting players to consider coming to Utah took two giant steps back when Mitchell blasted being black and living in Utah.
 
The only thing that will make players wamt to come to Utah is more money or if we are a contender. That will never change with perception over time or something like that. Most players dont want to play in a smaller town that is cold and has a lot of strange white mormons. But there is no reason to get worked up that there is supposedly one player in the draft that said "‘Man, I don’t know if I want to go to Utah." The guy didnt even say he doesnt want to go, just doesnt know. Which is completely fair of someone who probably knows little about Utah and doesnt want to live in the cold remote smaller city on a team that isnt good, but pretty crowded at most positions.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever lived in Utah and if so where did you live?
 
Jalen Hood Schifino is the mostikely to me.

You're sitting at 16 and you know Utah and LA like you. You're going to cross your fingers and pray Utah passes on you so you get to LA
