This is dumb. There are no signs he is leaving as of right now.

If anybody is to blame for Mitchell taking a step back (which I truly don't think is the case for this season but many do), it's got to be the front office.

Mitchell was flourishing with the ball in his hands while we go and get ball dominant Conley and Clarkson. Rubio looked to facilitate more than shoot. And he played good defense. We have more talent now, but we also have worse fits.

I like the idea of Mitchell with 6th man Clarkson. But all 3 or even 2 on the court most of the time? It doesn't work. It won't. The Conley trade was one of the worst trades in our history. We have to clean that up before losing the most promising young player in our history.

I don’t agree with that guy at all btw. As for Clarkson, he was great when we had Bogey, he was in the right role. I don’t like some of what he’s been doing right now. He’s had more shots than Donovan the past 2 games, there should be few to no games Clarkson has more shots than Don. Not having Bogey just sucks. Also guys gotta quit throwing passes at Rudy’s feet. With no Bogey you have to find ways to get him more than 6 shots in a game.
 
Some really great posts in here. I think most of us appreciated the swing for the fences approach the team took this offseason. thats not the norm for the jazz.
It didn't work, and now we have to figure out what the next step is.

Donovan needs the ball in his hands more. We need to get more athletic, and taller. We still need more shooters.
I want to see Brantley and Tucker in this current rosters rotation to see what that does. Brantley could develop into a good 3 point shooter as he
showed his range in the G league. Plus he brings more power and athleticism. Tucker is an interesting fit too, plus both guys can go up and grab a big rebound when needed.

Brandley and Niang are fine end of the bench emergency bench warmers. They are not, repeated not, 2nd unit championship pieces.

The more we roll with them the worse off we'll be.
