Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

So are we able to trade any of the players we got in the Rudy trade or are there restrictions?

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."
Ainge teh gawd

Just got through listening to the pod and the other important thing Mannix said was that Ainge doesn't like to half *** things if you're going to be a team that's good he wants the team to be really good. If you're going to be bad you're going to be really bad, being stuck in the middle isn't an Ainge thing to do. If you're going to be in that 9 to 11 seed range might as well just go for the 15th seed.

Also interesting thing that Mannix doesn't think Donovan is an Ainge type of player at all. Ainge loves his long versatile players that can switch on defense and that on offense Donovan is in this weird spot not really knowing if he is a 1 or 2 long term. He also thinks that Ainge doesn't see Donovan as a foundational piece of the franchise to build around for the next 5-10 years.

TLDR: By this time next year Mannix doesn't believe Donovan is on this roster.

I like Ainge more and more every day.

I get warm bubbly feeling when I hear other rational Donovan haters talk.
 
I do think Ainge is just very good manager. As the boss here, he probably know if what he got is enough to achieve great. And if not what is missing.
As the main player, he for sure have an opinion of what he can do with Don. 2 options : he see him as an important piece able to win a championship soon if well surrounded, or he is convince that he is not good enough and he will trade him as soon as there is a match with another team. Time will tell.
If i was the GM here, i will trade him. As for me Don is a number 2, not a number 1 and we can't afford to get a number 1 at that stage.
