Jazz are committed to Donovan as cornerstone according to Woj

I completely understand the concern around a Donovan build.

I just feel like the behind the scenes turmoil has been more substantial than people realize. This team hasn't played with joy for a while, and that's so incredibly important. The players didn't buy into Quin's system. It was obvious well before Rudy Gay went public with his comments and never played again. Players were just going through the motions.

Coach Hardy is the most important part of all of this. He fixes us and I don't believe we are far from being where we just were in the standings.

I'm excited. Not scared at all. We are in for good times guys.

This idea that "we can rebuild while remaining competitive" bull**** never works and I'm surprised people keep falling for same damn treadmill of mediocrity.

For all we know, the jazz trading Gobert gives Mitchell the mantle of leader and franchise #1 player. Maybe it lights a fire of responsibility to lead the team and he has a career year. The message has been sent. Last year was completely inexcusable. Gobert is gone, the coach is gone. This will be a completely different team lots of new faces. Let’s see how Mitchell responds.

Sometimes being handed the mantle can chang a man. That’s what I’m looking for for Mitchell. Let’s see if he can take the rains and lead this team back to where it needs to be assuming Woj is right and the jazz are building around Mitchell and I’m good with it.

For what it's worth let's hope he turns into D-Wade. I think what was holding him back was this was always looked at as "Rudy's team" and Don was always in Rudy's Shadow.

Hopefully we get a monster year of Donovan Mitchell next to a guy like Ayton. We might be looking at the next Stockton/Malone super duo if Ayton comes here with a chip on his shoulder and puts up monster numbers with Don.

Hoping it comes to fruition.
 
It’s great that everyone wants this information out there and it may be that Donovan is here a little while longer. But that doesn’t change that this means everyone wants this information out there and he’s gonna only be here a little while longer.

The Jazz are trying to get a team to spazz and offer the Godfather offer. They may or may not get it, but that’s the play here.

I think the Jazz are making a big mistake in not getting max value out of Donovan while he can still barely dunk. We're not going to re-tool quickly enough to take advantage of him so what's the point? Are the Jazz scared of losing their fan base?

Maybe they are going to get Ayton or someone else and want to see what Donovan can do without gobert there. Then if we dont win much (I dont think we will) we can trade him next year after putting up huge empty stats. IDK.

I am fine with keeping donovan and fine with trading him. Im one of the few who still really likes Spida Mitchell.

If we hit on our pick next year which could be a top ten pick in what I here is a strong draft, then hit on one of the three other picks from the Gobert, O’Neale trades, and who knows maybe we pick up one or two more picks. Could be a short rebuild.

This is my thinking as well. Picks seem to be able to fetch really good all star level players. We have picks. Maybe we add two more all stars with donovan really soon and get younger and have better defenders and quickly are back to contention. Maybe if all that happens we even keep mitchell happy and he doesn't want to leave.

Ainge has an arsenal to play with already. Even if we keep Donovan. That rudy trade was a sweet haul. Same with the royce trade.

All depends on Hardy.

We just added 3 proven NBA players and a center with potential for one player.

If Hardy is a good coach, it's possible that we are just as good or better next season.

Gobert and Royce - 63mpg last season

Bev, Beasley, Vanderbilt - 75mpg last season plus Kessler

Let’s not get crazy here. If we deal for Ayton then we’re talking.
 
They need to say they don't want to sell Don to get the best package they can get. Looks like a bluff to me.

I just don't see them rebuilding around him now. They sold Rudy, they sold Royce, there's no team left here. No more Ingles, a washed out Conley. Bojan who can't defend to save his life. How could they be competitive soon? It's never happening.

Plus they asked for picks, not starters. And they hired a young rookie coach. All that screams "full blown rebuild" to me... Which is probably the best move.

Don would probably ask out anyway if they tried to make him stay with a non competitive team.
