Huh. *shrug*

Ill be forever grateful that we drafted him instead of Booker. He is what Denver wanted in trade for DM, and we wouldn’t have traded Booker for the 13th pick.

Mitchell is going to be better than Booker. It could have been so much worse for us.

Agreed, it all happened perfectly and ended up being right. Happy exactly how things went.

It makes Trey look very bad. You hated Utah because they made you work too hard ? Seriously ? Congrats on DL for turning this useless douche into Donovan.

I'm not sure talking like that is smart for his future contract.

Not just that. The implication is that he hated Utah because of expectations of hard work and lack of partying opportunities.

I dont think you saw his recent stuff on Utah. He pretty much said it was on him for not being mature enough.

Is that more or less recent than the stuff where Burke's says it was his own fault because he should've just ignored the coaches and played his own game?
 
Maybe both Treys thought a little too much they were hot **** lottery picks and should easily be top guns/franchise guys on some Podunk small market Utah team. I mean, after all, Lyles went to Kentucky and Burke was POY and played in a national championship - obviously, way more significant and higher level b-ball than anything in Utah ... Interesting how Donovan Mitchell came in with the exact opposite attitude and found himself to be even greater than the Trey’s dreamt themselves to be.

That is not what he said.

What he said was that it was his fault because instead of playing his game his way he tried to listen to the coaches. Which is the complete opposite of what you are indicating he said.

Nah, read the Desert News article when he came back for the road game this year.


"“I think in the past, a lot of people think we’ve got problems with each other, but for me, I let that go,” Burke said. “I’ve grown from it, I’ve learned from it. My experience here was my first experience in the NBA as a professional, so Utah will always have a place in my heart regardless of what people may think.

“Every time I come back here, the scenery, the people here and just the feeling I get because this is where I was coming to do my press conference as a rookie in the NBA so I’m glad to be back here.”

Burke admits he wasn’t always focused on basketball with other distractions holding him back as a young player in Utah. Once the Jazz drafted guard Dante Exum in his second season, he was honest in his assessment that it didn’t help."

I hadn't seen that. Was this before or after the interview in which he said he regretted listening to the coaches in Utah? Because that was also this season.
