The majority of this forum doesn't even post. I don't even think the majority of the people that do post are that strong on an opinion. I think in general we really really like DM. We as a forum in general also want a player to want to be here. Clearly the players in the past that refused to come here have caused some skepticism/wounds to be here for at least many of the vocal fans.

I still think a huge majority of Jazz fans fully support DM and want him here.

I think that's become less and less true.

DM had all of his pals jettisoned. Royce, Forrest and Paschal.

The other Mitchell, their newest draft pick, and a couple of picks would be a coup for us.

No need for the name calling though.

Pretty darn clear what’s happening here.

I think the Durant decision is the big block to fall prior to any other trades. MIA wants KD or DM.

that would be quite the coup, but sacto would never do it. i have to think they love davion.

I think It is time to trade DM45 to the knicks for Toppin, Reddish, and Fournier (Salary Reasons) and their first-round picks in 2023 (Pick swap), 2025, 2027, AND 2029.

That will give the Jazz at least 3 first-round picks in those 4 years. That way, if a player they are in love with the organization can potentially trade up and get them.

Toppin is a great pick up IMO
I am a huge fan of reddish.

Knicks

Brunson
DM,
Barrett
Randle
Mitchell

Beverley is an improvement on Royce.

I've got this feeling zebras won't let him get away with any little $hit now he's in a (horrible) Jazz uni.... lets see...

To Mitchell's point he wants to win a championship and thus far this team has taken a major step backwards as far as the next season or two. This current roster might squeeze into the playoffs but is more than likely another first round exit.

This season and the next to retool then Don is on his last year of his contract. Unless we do something drastic Dons final 3 years will be rebuilding. Rumor has it he was going to ask to be traded if we have another first round exit and we did. One could speculate he doesn't care to have another, and another...if that.

Really he needs to be traded so he can chase the ring. We will not be competitive at that level for at least 3 seasons, more likely 5, and that is even with good draft picks and maybe some great development of young guys. DM is clearly a strong #2, but cannot carry a team to victory, so he needs to find the Batman to his Robin. We might get that in the draft with all of our draft assets, but odds are anyone like that won't contribute at that level for 2-3 seasons anyway, so the timeline for Mitchell in Utah is bad. Will be 4-5 seasons before we are strongly competitive again. So for Mitchell's own good, and our more rapid turn-around, the best thing we can do is to trade him for the most assets we can get.

If we stick with Don, the front office's goal should be to build a playoff contender this year. A team that just gets there. Next summer, we gotta add a max free agent type guy through either a trade or a signing. We add another "star" type guy.

That, my friends, is the best chance we have to be a contender. It's not through the draft with picks that might not even be out of the 20's. It's building around known quality with a bunch of defenders and hope that you strike gold with a young player or signing or a player acquired via trade.
