Gobert saying it's Mitchell or me

I know I am not usually @utahjazz breaking news guy, but a source close to situation has informed me that Rudy Gobert is at "him or me" point with Donovan Mitchell and will demand that one of them be traded in next few days. Doesn't feel they will win championship together.

In news that in truth will shock just about no Jazz fan.

Gobert saying it's Mitchell or me

RockyBalboa

Not surprising at all

Hard to know if that source is legit but wouldn’t be surprising if true. If Jazz

O'Connell is a good dude and wouldn't tweet something like that out on a whim

RockyBalboa

I want Rudy, but I'm not sure it makes sense going forward.

HingleMcCringleberry

5/2/22 9:02am

Within the next few days? Probably not. But, I believe Mitchell has played his last days with Utah.

germm

5/2/22 9:02am

I read it as the demand will be made soon, but the trade would take longer.

Even if it doesn't work out, you trade Gobert. And I like him. Even wanted him

Cougar TD

5/2/22 9:03am

If you build a team around Mitchell believing you only have 3 years before he

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:06am

Nope, you trade Gobert to get max value on him now. Get legit pieces around DM

Cougar TD

5/2/22 9:27am

Not a bad idea I just don't think Mitchell will be the leader on a championship team. Obviously not apples to apples but

RoaroftheCougartails

5/2/22 9:32am

Yeah, CP annoys the heck out of me but he is a better leader. Maybe this move

Cougar TD

5/2/22 9:38am

Personality wise I am sure Rudy is hard to work with because he is a no BS kind of guy. He says what he thinks with not

RoaroftheCougartails

5/2/22 10:01am

You aren't going to get good enough pieces to make a run at a championship.

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:33am

Maybe, but we don't know what they could get. I would argue you have a 3X DPOY

Cougar TD

5/2/22 9:37am

Yeah if the jazz can get back an all NBA wing then no-brainer

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:45am

Players and Picks, and they won't be done dealing. Who knows what they end up

Cougar TD

5/2/22 9:51am

Anything short of an all NBA player in return

JoeExotic

5/2/22 10:18am

Don't think Jazz have to give up assets to dump Conley

krindorr

5/2/22 2:01pm

No he isn't. He has partial guarantee for the 3rd year at like 15 mil.

JoeExotic

5/3/22 11:39am

Gobert is untradeable due to his supermax contract

MyTwoCents

5/2/22 1:39pm

Meh, that's just your two cents

Cougar TD

5/2/22 1:57pm

Plenty of teams would want him even on his contract.

ochobeeguy

5/2/22 2:36pm

Lame. Go get Ingles and run it back.

fredetteaboutit13

5/2/22 9:04am

It’s amazing how many jazz fans think trading Ingles was the problem.

RdF3

5/2/22 9:06am

I truly believe it was a factor. His shooting was still strong, but his attitude was tremendous.

Ted Lasso

5/2/22 9:10am

the Jazz hoped players who could still play would help more.

Belboz

5/2/22 10:05am

His shooting was strong last year

I'mBatman

5/2/22 12:09pm

It won't be long before Gobert is traded.

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:04am

(July/Aug)

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:08am

Probably draft night so the Jazz can get a pick

Hypnotoad

5/2/22 9:09am

And draft another Bradley/Azubuike. Yay.

byubyu

5/2/22 9:27am

Lindsey is gone. The guy making the decisions is the one that drafted Tatum,

Hypnotoad

5/2/22 9:35am

Not sure about that.

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:35am

You need to get players AND picks for Gobert. Anything less would be a failure.

Hypnotoad

5/2/22 9:42am

I think fans seriously overestimate what teams are willing to trade for Gobert

JoeExotic

5/2/22 11:08am

Why would you trade Gobert?

TNT

5/2/22 9:09am

Because Smith and Wade have bent over backwards for Mitchell already. Doubt

Hypnotoad

5/2/22 9:11am

You're not wrong, but the Jazz have done a lot of capitulating to Mitchell

RockyBalboa

5/2/22 9:11am

If you are convinced that Mitchell wants to stay

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:32am

Not too many think Donovan wants to stay

TNT

5/2/22 9:33am

Which is why it is up to Ainge/Smith to make that determination

JoeExotic

5/2/22 9:35am

I’m going to keep posting this. I think the trade that makes the most sense is centered around Gobert to ATL for

RdF3

5/2/22 9:07am

Meh

RockyBalboa

5/2/22 9:08am

Disagree on the Meh. Capela is like 75% Gobert, and Hunter can be special.

HingleMcCringleberry

5/2/22 9:13am

Any chance for Collins? I’d love him in Utah.

allaboutthegainz

5/2/22 9:46am

I'm not sure Atlanta does that honestly.

krindorr

5/2/22 10:35am

I am not especially fond of the Jazz, but I think this would make the Jazz

Mitchell aint the guy to build around and its not because of talent. He has that in spades. It is attitude and

RoaroftheCougartails

5/2/22 9:11am

Wouldn’t be surprised. It would get old having your employer bend over backwards

Pepe

5/2/22 9:16am

Jazz are in a tough spot

Carnac

5/2/22 9:17am

Yep. Not good either way. Blow up the whole darn (cleaned up for CB) thing

Gobert/Mitchell Beef - just like Kobe Shaq but minus 3 rings!

5/2/22 10:16am

If we pick DM over Gobert, we'll lose them both.

Ham

5/2/22 10:18am

Yup

OMIllionaire

5/2/22 10:28am

If you trade one you should trade both

5/2/22 10:24am

Those two are not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is Conley and his

delete_king

5/2/22 10:59am

Conley isn't making 35 million...

5/2/22 11:01am

...What should they have done instead of signing Conley?

krindorr

5/2/22 11:01am

Mitchell has proven it in the playoffs.

JoeExotic

5/2/22 11:11am

They are the biggest problem if they say they don't want to play together.

ochobeeguy

5/2/22 2:40pm

Can't win with a high priced center - Trade Gobert

AFitisemanu

5/2/22 11:53am

Jazz are in a total rebuild mode at this point. Trade everyone.

DazeofBlue

5/2/22 1:45pm

I agree, I think fans will be ok with this as they have seen what the Jazz

cougar95

5/2/22 1:59pm

This is why I don't hate a Gobert-Simmons trade

krindorr

5/2/22 2:03pm

Yeah, no. Simmons is a mental headcase and will be out of the league in 3 max

cougar95

5/2/22 2:04pm

Quite possible, so no contending team should take a chance on him....

krindorr

5/2/22 2:21pm

I really dislike Simmons, but think you're right. Solves so many problems if it

RUNBYU1

5/2/22 3:05pm

How would it work? It hasn't worked at any level with any team for Simmons.

byubyu

5/2/22 3:21pm

Yeah, Simmons is an idiot and will not last much longer

Cougar TD

5/2/22 3:28pm

True. Just logistically. If the Jazz aren't going to play DM at the point. Then

RUNBYU1

5/3/22 11:06am

That's why I think you take the risk
