There is no comparison whatsoever.
RUDY IS THE ONE WITH RADIO PLAY BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS GONE PUBLIC TO COMPLAIN TO THE MEDIA.

RUDY IS THE ONE WITH RADIO PLAY BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS GONE PUBLIC TO COMPLAIN TO THE MEDIA.
The organization doesn’t have to come out against him when they left him high-and-dry with absolutely no support after the entire sports world was coming after Rudy with pitchforks. Never do the dirty work that others will do for you.
Cant wait til Utah trades Gobert to an actual franchise ran by competent owners/management who arent solely concerned on trying to be "cool".

Rudy deserved to get roasted for those comments. He actually deserved more backlash.
Imagine LeBron James going public and telling the media that his teammates need to try harder and then make the comparison that they need to defend like Draymond or whoever else defender you want to use.
Rudy was reckless with his comments, and I've been telling you those comments pissed off the team and not just Donovan. Rudy brought this on.
Just trade Gobert, **** it.
Trade him to somewhere he can win a ring. I can root for that team for a couple of years before Donovan inevitably ****s Utah over in UFA and goes to the Heat or Knicks. Then I can come back to being a full-time Jazz fan and enjoy a rebuild.
Who is the best current 14 year old? I can't wait till he becomes the Jazz's #1 pick in 2026.

Jazz might not have a pick in 2026 depending on how the next week (or couple of years) goes.
Arent they lottery protected?
The Jazz still have a 2026 pick. But the 2026 pick is the one obvious thing of value the Jazz can trade and are probably getting pretty desperate to glue this thing together before mom comes home.
That Favors pick is top-10 protected in 2024, top-8 in 2025, and top-6 in 2026 (I think). I assume that's what you're referring to. I'm making an assumption that the pick will have conveyed. Maybe they then offer the 2027 unprotected or whatever.
The point is we're cliffed out and I think the Jazz are 50/50 nuking a prospective rebuild before it even happens. At some point, I would really love it if the Jazz tried to do it proper like OKC has been.

Maybe if we get pregnant we can save the marriage?
The one measure of solace I have with Ainge is that this is the dude that pillaged the Nets of their picks and that he knows the value. I would hope he wouldn't be so short-sighted, especially since the rebuild is (or at least should be) coming in the next few years and only a fool doesn't see that.
Well **** it, let's talk about trading Rudy or Donovan (say, this offseason).
If the Jazz don't trade an unprotected 1st at their first opportunity, trade Donovan. He will net more in a trade and the Jazz would probably still make the playoffs with Rudy and whoever until 2024 (hopefully you can extend Bogey a season?), such that the pick owed to OKC will convey (still can't believe that whole sequence of events, but I digress). Then you look at selling off whatever and going full OKC.
If the Jazz do trade an unprotected 1st at their first opportunity... god help us. I was gonna say trade Rudy and blah blah blah... but I think Donovan and his corny, fake-leader, cool guy charade will be pretty hard to stomach as this team so very mysteriously starts racking up losses. That all would lead to an extremely sloppy and painful handful of years.

That wasn't what I was referring to.
