Hey I'm trying to maintain my head in the sand over here about Donny's being a Utah Jazz lifer, you're not helping!

Donovan is gone already so start preparing yourself for it. If you can’t see his total change in how he acts towards the fanbase/being here you’re being willfully naive. A lot of it was the social media comments on social justice issues IMO, but the dude couldn’t even acknowledge the contract he was given. Hasn’t said a positive thing about being here in 9 months, and is just playing along for the time he is forced to. Appreciate Rudy. Cause the other guy is going to let you down.

Imagine getting $195 million, a franchise that did everything to help you be successful, and never even saying “thank you” publicly lol.

Then imagine the teammate most responsible aside from yourself for the wins attached to your career re-signing and you being the “face of the franchise” and being one of the only teammates to not publicly acknowledge or say “congrats” after all that happened between you two the past 9 months.

Appreciate Rudy, and come to reality with the other guy.

If I'm reading the NBA's stats page right, Rudy was +26 in the series, so I'm not convinced he was actually outplayed.

We lost cuz we had no one who could stop Murray on the perimeter. Rudy and Joker pretty much cancelled each other out. Rudy was actually the key for us to stay in it during G7. Jokic did destroy the clippers in the second round though.

Curious: would MKG (also released yesterday) rather than RHJ satisfy you?

I think it would be a fine move, but nothing I’d get giddy over. I really liked MKG the year preceding his draft. But I don’t know that he brings enough instant impact stuff to see much burn. I think you’d see a lot of the end of the bench getting minutes above him. With RHJ, I see very specific roles and immediate eyeball test value.
 
Let's do this. I feared Gobert was going to be silly about all of this. It looks as if the Jazz filled his 'make me feel valuable' box. That was the "diva'ish" part of this situation. But I also am glad it wasn't $228 million. I thought $195 was the number as well as many did here.

Regardless, we are almost guaranteed some fun years of basketball for the next half decade. These may or may not be the Stockton/Malone years, but they will be more memorable to me than the Slick Willy / Boozer years.

Can we turn Conley's contract into a long term, spendy asset that really 'beefs up' our roster? I think that's the path to a title. Conley's expiring for that last piece to the puzzle plus luxury tax for 4 years is really looking like more of a probability than a possibility imho.

These are good times. Let the good times roll!

As I see it now, this is our team for the next 2 years. We have a punchers chance at a championship (about 5%). After two years, things get dicey. Ingles probably retires and we have no way to get a replacement.

We might already have some good wings coming up to fill his spot, actually. But I more or less agree: we have 3 years.
