With the trades of Rudy and possibly Mitchell, are we as fans going to have to do this every 5 years where players we draft will leave for bigger markets? If so I’m done. This league won’t last. Might as well have only big market teams in the league. Is this the future for Jazz fans like us?
 
Yes. We had the two best players we’ve had since the statues under contract for three more years and the window was definitely closed, so we’ll parlay it into draft picks over multiple years and we’ll definitely, maybe, possibly land as much talent and that talent will maybe, kinda, probably all be timed right for the next 2-3 year window.
 
The league will last just fine. Small markets will always struggle. I don't think Rudy wanted to leave. The right situation for both sides surfaced.
 
It's not a new thing, it's been happening for a long time...Hayward left 5 years ago, and Deron Williams was traded 11 years ago because he was going to leave as well. Now we're trading Donovan because he doesn't want to be here and will leave as soon as his contract is up. Rudy is the exception because he actually wanted to play his whole career here.
 
Rudy would have played his entire career here. Mitchell might have played here longer had we had more success in the playoffs.

Until we find the winning combination. Spurs and 90’s jazz are good example of this.
 
Playoff failures leading to Rudy's name mentioned in trade rumors and a team gives us an exceptional offer. This didnt just come from nothing.
