Does anyone still like this team?

So you think we should keep Donovan but also that he won't be here his entire contract? Trading Rudy means next year is a struggle/pivot year... maybe you make the 7/8 seed... maybe. Donovan only has 2 years left on his deal at that time and now all the noise about him wanting out gets LOUD... it won't be fun.

Oops. I mean career not contract. My bad. I'll fix that.

For me its Smith, Chet (who would terrify me), Ivey, Banchero...

Forgot about Smith. This draft is pretty solid at the top. Perfect time to try and get a pick.

I know I'm branching off from the current discussion, but my prediction is that, 20 years from now, assuming the franchise is still in Utah, the rafters will have Rudy Gobert's jersey, but not Donovan Mitchell's.

Lopo better get use to Donovan hate because it's only going to get louder and louder as we move closer to these trades happening

I think about this especially with Hayward. If we traded Donovan this offseason he is in danger of not having his jersey retired by any team... like Hayward. He has more time left and may do amazing in NY or wherever he lands... but he might end up going some place for 3 years then leaving to go to NY... then he's kind of a transient player.

I'm not going to hate on the guy. If we do trade him it isn't because Ryan and Ainge have stones and are willing to be bold... its because Donovan was honest with them. Asking out of a market is not the worst thing in the world, so long as the demand is made in a professional way and isn't followed up with BS like Simmons pulled. Don coming to management and telling them "I won't re-sign here... I don't want to be here with Rudy... and if we aren't good I won't be happy so it might be best for both of us to look for a trade." It happens... it isn't the end of the world. We can get a haul for him and plan accordingly. The BS with Hayward set us back because he wouldn't commit.... we made moves like he would commit... then he took off. It can be like PG in OKC. OKC got a **** ton of stuff and PG got out.

Is it possible the jazz just have a hard time caring coming down the stretch because they’ve been hurt and injured to key guys that it’s hard to be motivated but come playoff time that we are healthy this team will be motivated? I’m just looking for a sign that we might have a shot at at least winning a series or more.

They are motivated, it's just they are easily thrown off mentally. Donovan is too selfish to unify the team because he knows if they actually fed Gobert, he would get more credit than Donovan.

Why don't we concentrate on Donovan appreciation as we approach the playoffs and that time of year where he carries us?

I know many of you posters out there are afraid of the backlash you would get for speaking up, but many of you should be ashamed how yall let a few posters on here personally attack Donovan Mitchell again and again and again.

Donovan's sister just ate at California Pizza kitchen. So is Donovan going to the Clippers or Lakers oneye?

You should change your name from oneye to the oracle.

Nostradumbass would be more appropriate.

Donovan is going to demand one of two things:

TRADE RUDY - I think this is what Donovan wants. Their relationship has been strained for some time now, and they have both tried to make it work. I think they annoy the ever living **** out of each other, and you can see that the team doesn't have fun. Ingles alluded to being peacemaker. I'm not going to blame either guy (Rudy or Don). Just separate them. Picking Don over Rudy is the simple decision for the long term health of the franchise. If Utah wants to trade Don at the deadline or even next summer, we still have that opportunity.

TRADE ME - I don't think Don will be here his entire career (not contract sorry), but I also don't think he will ask out this summer. If we refuse to trade Rudy, he might.

You are probably right, and he'll probably regret it. Jazz fans will regret option 1 more of the two.
