What’s with the hate for Donovan Mitchell?

The strange thing is only one person in this thread brought that up as their reason for disliking Donovan, and the rest of us (myself included) dogpiled on him for it.
I’ll bite - what was the political statement? I honestly don’t know what you are talking about?
 
Rudy's offensive limitations were exposed in the playoffs the last two years which is why teams went small and exposed us defensively. If he had any type of post game, you can't go small against us, but he couldn't score on Kleber or Batum.
Bogdanovic has a post game and was being guarded by smaller players. He could have posted up. Why didn't that happen?
 
No one hangs out with Utah outside of the jazz or former players or French national team members. Only Utah people like Rudy
People here will act like Rudy's nonexistent offensive game didn't impact us at all and say things like well why didn't we post up Bogdanovic!? Herp a derp.

Rudy would never take the blame always pointed the finger at his teammates that's what caused the division but his supporters blame Donovan for all of his faults and failures

People here still believe that Rudy is some great offensive player that just don’t get the ball enough when we’ve seen that even MVP caliber bigs don’t win in the postseason and Rudy’s nowhere near guys like Jokic or Embiid offensively.

Can anyone find me a max contract player that averaged 12 ppg or less in series his team got eliminated in back to back years and was still considered an elite player?

Read my previous posts I state this in its entirety. I' see all of Gobert's worshippers as a lost cause brainwashed and in denial. Wait til Kat and Ant be like Rudy why the f do you suck so bad on offense. You look like a baby giraffe in a wheelchair trying to score and dribble lol

Ant, Russell and KAT are also bad defensively
 
I think there’s an unfortunate element of the fanbase that finds him, basically, Uppity. The hate he’s received for no reason has been pretty revealing. And I think it’s a major problem going forward. Going to be tough to ever have a star player here if this is how the fanbase is going to act.
 
Produce said comments. Maybe you’ve inflated the ‘hate’ in your own mind. Plenty of perfectly reasonable takes and good points being brought up. Yet you and the others respond to none of them and fall back to the useless platitudes.
You don't read the threads here? When/if Don is traded like 75% of people here will be celebrating.
 
I like Donovan a lot. Whether we should trade him now depends a lot on the return we get.

I think there’s a vocal minority on this board that hates him. It’s a small subset of a subset.
