Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[LoPo]

These guys will literally reach for any measure to try to break down Donovan Mitchell.

I've never seen anything like it for guys who are supposedly fans of the team.

Yes, there are some really easy pickings to be had with Donovan's efficiency. He does pretty much all the hardest things really well. But the easy stuff needs improvement - he needs to get to the line more, he needs to improve in transition, he needs to improve on cuts.

Look at those stats:
Isolation - 83d percentile (9% frequency)
PnR ballhandler - 88th percentile(47.5% frequency!!!!!!!!!!!! This is actually insane PnR volume ... but he's really good at it)

Those are elite numbers for a primary ballhandler and offensive creator. But he doesn't even have enough volume on cuts to qualify for the stat. And his transition numbers have been bad for the entirety of his career.

BTW just checked his finishing around the rim - it's actually pretty good - 71% this last season... this is great for a guard.

The more I think about it the more it was probably just the most recent playoff series against Dallas. I’d bet his percentage was lower within 5 feet.

Quite the opposite. Donovan could average 30 PPG if he was better in transition.

He literally posted stats praising Mitchell the post before this one. LOL

Sure. Let's run the spread offense with a bunch of fullbacks and blocking TE's.

I blame Quin.

I didn't see that post, but I wasn't talking about stiches anyway. I was addressing a bunch of guys on here just looking to throw shade.

Mannix on Russillo's podcast today: "in the coming months the market for Donovan Mitchell, I believe, will be incredibly robust." He goes on to say, that Ainge only does deals when he smells desperation. He said that Ainge smells desperation better than any Exec he's ever been around. He then went on to say, "there could be a bidding war in the coming months for Donovan Mitchell from teams that are desperate."

Which is fine by me. Let's let the Coach Hardy era start and keep Don. If the team stumbles or Don wants to go due to this high demand, trade him.

This ain't rocket science. Try to win but know we can trade him if the demand and price is met along with Don's willingness to go.

If you want to get optimistic about Don, look at his catch and shoot / spot up stuff last year compared to other years. If he combines his improved finishing with his typical shooting….look out.
