People seem to forget that one of the statues sitting out front of the arena happens to be of player who was undersized as well but that doesn't seem to matter.

No one forgets that. Stockton wasn't an "almost superstar" chucker. He averaged 10.5 APG, vs Mitchell's 4. Stockton averaged 2.2 steals per game vs Donovan's 1.2. Stockton averaged over 51% on field goals, Mitchell 44%.

Mitchell isn't Stockton.

I'm not saying Mitchell is Stockton just making the comparison that they are both undersized. You can be undersized and still succeed. I agree Donovan NEEDS to become more efficient but what is more likely to happen? The 23 year becoming more efficient? or the 28 year old center developing anything that resembles some sort of offensive game?
 
I’m not necessarily advocating (okay **** it I am) for this but if we did and others involved were into it, I’d do:

  • Gobert for Myles Turner and 1st
  • Bogey and Davis for Draymond
  • Conley for a bag of chips
  • Sign Fred VanVleet-4/80
  • Sign Marcus Morris-2/30
  • Sign Joe Harris to MLE
I’d love to see what that team could do. **** our nice guy image. Go out and construct a team so opponents are scared to play us. Especially if we use both 1sts, and guys like Bradley, etcetera to perhaps move up and go after a naturally really good effing athletic scorer around 12-13 in the draft.

VanVleet
Mitchell-O’Neale
Ingles-Harris
Green-Morris
Turner

That would be our core 8. The 1st first round pick and guys like Brantley, Morgan, Oni and Bradley could earn some burn too. When we’re up 30 late in the 3rd of every ****ing game. I wanna destroy fools. That team would be insane on defense. Have nasty attitude. Every guy has he abilities to shoot.

Honestly I’d be down to give VanVleet more then that. I love the guy.

You are killing this discussion. Well done.

Mitchell has done more in his first 2.5 years than some Hall of Famers. This season, he is averaging 25ppg, 4apg, and 4rpg even though his efficiency needs to get better. Off the court, he is a star and good guy.

We should only trade Rudy if we have to due to this rift, his desire to leave, or his desire to get too much money. We shouldn't consider trading Donovan at all. Not one bit

This. I’m not saying I want to move Rudy. I would much rather see both of them succeed together in a Jazz uni. But if push came to shove and you absolutely have to choose 1. I’m taking Don and not thinking twice about it.
 
The best success we had this year was more or less with point guard by committee. Mitchell excelled with the ball in his hands more. Playing Mitchell alongside any traditional PG will yield less than ideal results imo. I think you pair him with a big 2-way wing who can make plays when needed. Klay Thompson in place of Conley and we are championship bound. Even 2/3 of Thompson and we are serious contenders. Conley has to go. That's the one we keep skimming over.

Agreed, a profile like Klay (my dream) in place of Mike would fit perfectly fit with the team (and especially with DM).
