Oneye went too far on wishing injury to Mitchell. We all have our opinions about players, but to wish injury? Classless.
I am an old dude and I have also followed the Jazz since before Stockton and Malone. Donovan solidified his legacy for me. So many times he had me jumping off my couch in awe of what he could do. I was at the summer league game where he saved a ball from going out of bounds with a behind the back pass to Exum running down the middle of the court. I was amazed and he just kept being amazing.

He will always be one of my favorites. He didn't seem happy this last year. His defense wasn't good. It's no excuse, but I think he knew, like the rest of us, that this version of the Jazz team had already reached their potential. It isn't his fault that DL made so many mistakes trying to build around him and Gobert.
I am not offended he would want to go play for the Knicks. I think it would be awesome for any player to go back to his hometown and play pro ball. I think Cleveland will be a great fit for him.
Wishing Mitchell and Gobert all the best and wishing even more of the best for the Jazz. Total rebuild is the right call.
