So when he demands a trade in the next 2-16 months will you change your mind then?
Does anyone still like this team?

"I don't take personal shots at Rudy, except when I say he lacks humility and that I can't stand the lack of ownership with him."
The best part? Gobert explicitly called himself out in the post-game interview, a fact that even LoPo acknowledged after demanding and receiving proof.
(Sidenote: This all started with Lopo blaming something on Gobert that wasn't his fault - and when called out by LogGrad, Lopo admitted he didn't actually watch the game).

I took back my stance on Rudy when he actually owned up in his interview this week. You should try some of that humility stuff you type but don't comprehend.
And my comment you referred to about the game the other night was a basketball comment. Do you understand the difference between a personal attack and a basketball critique?

Rudy is not the best guys for communicate but he does his best for the team. Even if his tendency to complain my be a bit annoying sometimes.

I'm ready to just set fire to it. Don and Rudy obviously don't like each other. That's not even debatable at this point. I'll never understand the coaches/FO decision to not play Don at point guard and waste assets on Conley. Dok over Bane will forever confound and drive me insane(just as I got over the Lyles/Booker ptsd) Doesn't seem to be any sort of solid plan. I'm rambling and need coffee.

This season in general has me feeling like some lost soul wandering aimlessly around the Salt Flats with a twitchy eye and a faithful pet rock that I drag with a old piece of fishing line.

All this drama is annoying, but we still control our own destiny. Get us healthy and keep us healthy going into the playoffs and who knows....

Draft is a crap shoot. I don’t get too upset about most draft mistakes, every team is filled with their own mistakes. The drafting of Dok though is a different story. I’m still trying to figure out that logic. The jazz have also had their share of draft Triumphs.
As far as moving Don to pg instead of trading assets for Conley, I’m right there. I was championing that idea during all the Conley rumors at the time. The jazz just never learned their lesson of wasting firsts to plug in a starting pg. to this day I can’t help but wonder if we would’ve drafted Deontae Murray if we hadn’t traded that years first for one year of George Hill. Yes we got his best statistical year ever but we also got 40 something missed games and only that year. He was exactly the need the jazz had to address in that years draft.

Really enjoyed the podcast. I’m already excited about not being crushed by having expectations for the team to do well.
I truly hope the FO has the stones to go all in on a reset. Doesn’t OKC have a top 10 protected pick of ours? No way in hell do I let that convey. We can get a king’s ransom for Don, a nice haul for Rudy. Hell, trade Quin. He’s obviously burned out here, but teams would love to have him. We actually have a ton of guys that could net us something decent from a contender looking for a piece. No albatross contracts impossible to move. Quite the opposite really. We could help out so many teams. Dudes would flourish away from this crap. And it’d be fun to follow our guys around the league (Mitchell v Gobert is gonna be amazing to watch whenever we get it. Rudy gonna own him in the paint.) while the Jazz go fill that void in the bottom of the standings.
Acquire and play young dudes, and drown me in draft picks. I want no trace of this current team left.

This is the way. Ryan needs to turn his hat around like an adult person and make this happen.
But we’re not going to do this. We will instead go full “appease Don” mode.
BYU Ryan trying really hard to be the straw that breaks my Jazz fandom’s back… Why a Provo All-Star bro had to be the one that bought this team frustrates me to no end.

Definitely feels like our window was last year but we were hurt and crapped away the Clippers series.
