RIFT IN JAZZ LOCKER ROOM

[NAOS]

Donovan and Rudy make amends. Then Wood signs. Jazz then take a huge sum from Corona beer company as a sponsor instead of Vivint. Next year we bring ‘chip home to Corona Arena.

Trade Rudy this summer. Simple.

I would trade Mitchell before I trade Rudy and it’s not close.

I disagree. You keep Donovan. I hate how Donovan handled this in every way, but he’s the better choice for several reasons.

Perhaps this is a teachable moment for all. Reporters are not your friend and keep your dirty laundry inhouse.

Please name them than, because Mitchell isn’t leading the jazz anywhere without Rudy

Well, the good and bad news is Conley Island might not opt in the player option this summer and the bad is no free agent nba players might not want to come to Utah because of the Rudy/Donovan virus situation.

Is this new? Because I thought this was the narrative for the entirety of my fandom? That narrative has nothing to do with Corona when it’s gone, it’s gone period.

This is so dumb. You can't rely on Gobert to lead anybody anywhere. You don't trade Iverson to keep Mutombo.

Mitchell is a future super star. Gobert is a fantastic regular season player.

And quit crying about Donovan talking to Woj. It's not that big of a deal.

Yes it is. Because it shows he’s a drama queen who will do it if things get rough ever. Donovan needs to grow the **** up and act like the leader he pretends he is for PR.


As for why you keep Donovan. More marketable, more diverse skill set, and better chance other guys are willing to play with him. He’s obviously closer with guys currently in the locker room than Rudy as well.

Lmao. I haven’t said one thing about what Don did or didn’t say, and haven’t had one word of complaint at Don or any other player. I’m already on record saying this is overblown.

Mathis is sad really. Don is no AI and Mutombo is no Gobert.

fact is it’s easier to build around Gobert than it is around Mitchell. Mitchell can’t be the lead guy on a contending team. Not a good enough finisher and doesn’t get to the line on top of being short. Mitchell needs the ball in hand. Without Mitchell this team would be exactly where they are now or maybe a little less. Conley would be better too. I’m not bashing Mitchell, he’s just not who we need him to be. On the other hand, you take Gobert off the team and we are much worse. He doesn’t need to be the guy, but affects the game a ton with his dunks and defense. He’s just easier to build a team around. The players around Gobert fit better with Michell not there.

I’ve always been the gambler. I’d like to keep both and hope we get that special offensive talent that checks the boxes Mitchell doesn’t (finishing, getting extra ft’s)

@LoPo AI was truly special. Every time he touched the ball the defensive pressure for the other team was off the chart. Him leading the 76ers to the finals was nothing short of incredible being 6-0. We will never see that again.

As far as trading Mitchell we would get a ton of value and assets to give us the ability to try again at building a contender without completely starting over. He’s also our most valuable trade chip due to still being on that rookie deal and being marketable she is. He’s just not that prime time player we want him to be, and make no mistake. Gobert is the biggest game changer on the team.
