Uhh, the Jazz could have easily dumped Conley to a number of teams....

Try again. (Or dont, because there isnt a rebuttal)

No one said the jazz were trying to "dump" Mitchell. Your straw man is lame and ineffective.

I just hate the way some(seems like most) people are. We trade away two big stars and go into a rebuild hoping that the picks we have received, most of which we actually don't receive for years, will hopefully eventually turn into some young, talented players with potential. When we actually luck out and some of the players thrown into the deals as salary makeweights actually turn out to fit the above description, people wanna trade them away. Hell, some people are upset that we got those players in the first place, seemingly wishing we had not gotten any good players in those deals as they are now apparently preventing us from sucking as hard as these people want us to suck.

And all I can do is shake my head and ask myself what the **** is wrong with so many of you? You want us to suck so badly that you're not going to be happy until the Jazz basically trot out the Stars starting five out there and then do that for half a decade? And for what? A 14% chance that we draft some goofy-looking, white trash kid from Maine who will one day consider himself lucky if his best season is as good as the two seasons Lauri Markkanen just had?

Impulse control and long term planning of a Peter Griffin. That's what all this sounds like.

Brother you must have trouble reading.

The point is that DA has a price in mind. He isnt going to trade a guy just to make the team worse if a team isnt meeting that price. We have plenty of proof of this to this point.

No the discussion was whether the jazz were looking to trade Donovan or they just traded Donovan because the cavs called and offered what they offered.

I think Donovan was on the trade block. I think ainge wanted to get as much as he could for Donovan. I think cavs offered the most and ainge took it. I think that if the cavs didn't offer what they did then we would have took a different offer from someone else. Donovan was not part of the jazz future.

DM and Quin were joined at the hip. Quin left so it was past Donny's bed time. Did everyone want us to hold onto him so he could crap all over us with no compensation like Haywood did?

I believe Quinn bailed because he knew Mitchell was gone. Seriously though, no one seriously thought the Jazz were going to run it back with Mitchell no matter what Ainge said. The Knicks certainly didnt.
