Rudy Gobert 5 years, $205M

[LoPo]

Opinions of people change when they act like an ungrateful, entitled, arrogant, crybaby for 10 months and throw their most important teammate to the side first, then lump the fans who had nothing but full support of him for 3 years as racists he wants to distance himself from over social media comments. He could only hide his true self until things got a little tough for him. Also, I believe this is a “Jazz fan forum” what would you like me to discuss here? Did he not throw a fit over Rudy and let it fester with national headlines for months while never saying a word? Has he not completely tossed aside this fanbase and community over social media comments? Where’s he been for 10 months aside from those things? Nothing I’ve said here isn’t true. When he’s acted like an entitled, ungrateful child for 10 months it’s okay to say it. The team that drafted him and the fanbase that unwaveringly supported him and helped make him signs him to a giant gold plated contract and he can’t even act grateful about it?

I know what happened...

Oneye went to a game early, watched the warmup, yelled Don's named repeatedly, saw Don approach him signing a sneaker, and Don gave it to the small girl right in front of oneye.

Oneye will now hate Donovan Mitchell forever....

oneye has had a very interesting transition... when he first posted on the board he was known as a huge Donovan fan, which people may be forgetting. Here's a small sampling of that kind of stuff:

Donovan Mitchell.........he may end up a God here for sure.

Take 60 seconds click on the link, scroll down and vote for Donovan. Then have anyone around you do it, share it. Let’s make sure he wins this. Getting ahead of Philly fans in the voting will be important.

The kid just gets it. He understands who he is in the community, and his influence. This state, SLC, the Jazz, we as fans are all so lucky to have such an impactful role model here. He’s been here 1 year......1 year....and he’s endeared himself more than almost any player that ever played here, in fact he probably has more than anyone. You simply don’t get someone better than Donovan.

Showing up for no other reason than to show himself.

And a shoutout to Royce O’Neale and Ekpe Udoh who also dropped by. The Jazz have some amazing guys on this team and in the community.

He's now incessantly posting how Donovan's "a bitch" and keeps beating the same drum. He did this exact same thing except in the "OMG Donovan is amazing" direction, which is why I think he seems to assume the rest of us are as enthralled and star-struck as he was before. However, he eventually took a big turn, and it honestly is very similar to the storyline for the De Niro movie The Fan. De Niro is a huge Giants fan and his favorite player, Wesley Snipes, signs with the Giants. He tells everyone how awesome this guy is, calling into radio shows and telling all his friends and really hyping him up. When Wesley Snipes struggles, De Niro gets angry that everyone turns their back on him. He pushes more support for him. But then things change and De Niro feels slighted by Snipes. Then he full-on loses it regarding him. The trailer is a pretty good synopsis of this:

Or it could just be his actions over the past 10 months.

"This poster, Oneye, keeps referring to Donavan Mitchell with a pejorative term that signifies a female dog. It is disrespectful and dare I say, dehumanizing. Here in Scotland we would turn a cold shoulder to Oneye for his uncouth manners."

 

[gomretat]

I hope oneye is wrong but there is ample evidence that he is correct. I am hoping that Donavon changes his tune a bit as time goes by but the last while it has been pretty clear that DM has really cooled on Utah as a place to play. I also think the fan based has cooled a bit toward DM. My sense is that he really likes Quinn and his teammates but they may not be enough. For now, enjoy the next 4 years and hope we can get it done.

Luke Kennard just got 4/64... so 16M a year... is Rudy worth 2.5 Kennards? Fo. Sho.

 

[Monte666]

Yeah just plain wrong. That player option (which no player has ever got on their rookie extension) has everything to do with getting Donovan’s prime out of Utah. It sets the timetable back on when trade rumors/demands start, etc. Now Donovan likely exits Utah during most his prime, vs playing most here. If it was a full 5 year max, run out the clock on it and go it o the final season. Now you’ll go into the 24 summer asking him to sign a super max with ONE year instead of 2 left on the contract before the PO. You will have to trade him at that point, oh and not just trade him, but trade him to a destination of his choice or pay him 15% of his salary as a fee. I wouldn’t call myself a Rudy lover lol. Rudy has his flaws, but Rudy’s a real and I respect it. Donovan is every bit as good as Trump at selling you what you want vs what’s reality. Donovan doesn’t think you’re any less of a racist POS @Eenie-Meenie as he does the real POS in his comment sections. Promise. Dude loathes his own fanbase, and also treated the teammate most responsible for his career winning success like dirt. He’s an ungrateful bitch in every way. He tossed the community and fanbase aside just as fast as he did Rudy the second he got in his feelings about it.

Dude I think you're a dumb ***. I Don't post that often but when I do it's too tell someone their a dumb ***

I hope so too. But too much has changed in his head IMO, all he thinks Utah is, is a backwards place thats ignorant and racist at this point, he's completely bought it at this point. You never see him involved here anymore. You never see him mention any of the local sports teams here anymore. Remember when he used to tweet about BYU, Utah football and basketball? Yeah that hasn't happened anymore has it? You've seen zero community involvement from him here in the past 10 months. He hasn't spent a second here he wasn't contractually obligated to. Wasn't even in Utah to sign his extension. Never acknowledged it. Never thanked the organization, fanbase, or community for the unabashed support he was shown for 3 years and the $163-195 million gold plated pay day and contract he got. I know Rudy, Joe, Quin, and other coaches within the organization have been involved and on calls with local leaders the past 6 months, Donovan has had no involvement and never been on any of those calls. And the fanbase has every right to cool on him when it's obvious he's lumped everyone in with those idiots in his comments sections. It doesn't matter his alma mater Louisvilles posts have the same comments, or every NBA and players page who posts about social and political issues, no Donovan believes you are all racist POS at this point and it's just the sad truth. People who don't see the really drastic change in his vibe towards Utah over the past 10 months are just being willfully blind. I have a toxic approach to this, but it's still the truth.

It's really not about whether or not Mitchell leaves though.

If I was a betting man I'd say that Mitchell probably won't sign a third contract in Utah. That doesn't mean Oneye isn't acting like a spurned Robert De Niro.

I think my frustration lies in the fact. He could have been a real difference here, and instead took a close minded toxic approach that did nothing but make people stop listening to important issues he could have made serious in roads on in the state. Instead of being level headed about the fact people would disagree he took a toxic approach. All Donovan’s approach is, is yelling into an echo chamber and changing no minds. Then he throws a fit or gets butthurt when things get rough or people don’t fully agree with him. He really thought getting involved in politics would have no backlash? Or pushing social justice in the way he approached it wouldn’t have some people who disagreed? And then made his approach overtly political? And now he’s just checked out as far as his feelings about being here. It’s obvious. He’s actually probably less fake than I’ve thought of him. He can’t hide his feelings of not liking it here anymore. So he probably truly did mean what he said earlier in his career of liking it here, but he has absolutely let social media comments and stuff shape the way he thinks and his opinion of being here at this point, and he doesn’t like it anymore.
