Yeah, Donovan’s never too busy for an Instagram post or tweet. With how much support he's received from both the franchise and fanbase it’s the least he could do is act a bit grateful.
Rudy Gobert 5 years, $205M
- Thread starter infection
- Start date
I would have loved for him to take a bigger discount, but if I were him, I wouldn't have either. I also wonder how much is based on achievements like his last contract ($500k for 1st team, 250k defense rating less than 100, 250k rebounds per game (don't recall#, but don't think he ever met it), $1MM all-star-which he achieved once...
I'd rather pay Gobert a bit more than market, which is what the Jazz did, than potentially lose him for nothing. And I think he has been a bit underpaid on his last contract for the value he brings, so it all evens out. And honestly, I get tired of hearing how he is a limited player on offense. So what. Look at what he does for our offense. He sets amazing wide screens and also sucks defenders back on the roll to prevent the lob leaving our guys WIDE open. Few big men can do that the way Rudy can. And his defense anchors this team.
I'm excited to see what this team can do. I think management did most of the right things this offseason by trimming players that didn't bring enough value, and bringing guys in that hopefully can.

No idea why we’re pitting Don vs Rudy. We have them both locked in for at least another five years. That’s something to be excited about. Does it really matter who is more of a loyal servant? This is some high school drama ****.
I feel like people these days care more about their opinion being validated more than anything. If they don’t like something the Jazz did, they want it to go poorly because people care more about being right than they care about the inning. This is the hot take/island culture the internet has created.
I think your take on general jazzfanz reaction is simply wrong.

Hurt over what? Using comments that exist under every single social media post to impact his feelings? Grow the **** up and realize 100% of people aren’t going to agree with you and get out of your feelings. If social media comment sections are his reality and they mean more than all the *** kissing he’s got thats on him. Donovan has publicity character and in reality is a fragile, ego driven, close minded ***.

This. Donovan hasn’t been loyal for a second. Donovan grabbed all the money he possibly could and every incentive to benefit him, never gave a “thank you for the support” and will be gone the second he can.
