Gobert saying it's Mitchell or me

RockyBalboa

5/2/22 8:59am

Not surprising at all

TNT

Mitchell

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

5/2/22 9:02am

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

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

brazilcoug

5/2/22 9:08am

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

TNT

Board name checks out

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

Pack4

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

Charles Darwin

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...

Charles Darwin

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
