Proof Donovan was The Issue

What is amazing is that Gobert successfully anchored the defense and protected the paint in Denver while being two states away! That's what the GOAT DPOY does.
Yep. The great ones affect the entire team so they still play supremely well when when the Great misses a game here and there. You're right! His influence reaches far!
 
Proof Donovan was the issue... Wolves about the sweep the champs anchored by 4x (should easily be 5x) DPOY Gobert who was praised by his coach for changing the defensive identity of the entire team. While Cleveland can only think about how soon they can dump Donovan "Empty-stat" Mitchell.

I really wish we had just traded Mitchell and kept Gobert. Adding the haul we got from Cleveland could have propelled us to nearly be the wolves, with Gobert anchoring it all.
Except 1 major difference... we dont have Ant. We still would have needed HIM.
 
Hard to compare for me. We do not have ANT, we do not have KAT, Mac Daniels is a top 10 defender in NBA... we were missing many pieces even if we had keep Rudy and Mike. But i would have seen Rudy and Lauri play together with Mike the floor general.

And Minny doesnt have Lauri, Sexton, JC, Tech or KO. All of whom are good players and all of whom we could have had with Mike and Rudy. Plus we had NAW who would have seen the court (along with Tech) without the Gobert trade bringing in Beasley, Vando and THT (via Pat Bev).

We would have had the assets to go get "him", whoever it would be that came available.
 
**** both those jackasses!!! Neither seemed to have any desire to carry Utah at the end. Neither ever played this well for the Jazz.
 
No we wouldn't have unless you think Bradley Beal is a him.
Why did it have to be IMMEDIATELY!1!! Give it a season or 2 and you don't know what comes up.

Counterpoint: The Gobert trade set the market and allowed us to get what we did for Mitchell.

Also, it just doesn’t seem like it was in the cards at all since Gobert was traded 2 months before Donovan.

What about McDaniels and KAT? Heard they are pretty good at basketball. The difference between Ant and Mitchell is far less compared to KAT/McDaniels against the rest of our roster.

Then Lauri vs. KAT would make a very interesting comparison. But yeah missing out on McDaniels is a very tough pill to swallow for jazzfans.
