Utah Jazz Players in the FIBA World Cup(in China)

I ain’t really worried about the poor shooting from either guy. That stadium is huge and the lighting looks weird... also one game.

I’m not blissfully blind. I don’t think anyone here is, honestly. Perhaps more importantly, if he wants to leave as a UFA in five or six years, so be it. It’s his ****ing life. All I ask is he live in the moment while he’s here and I’m going to suggest you do the same.

I would prefer they see it coming and trade him before that, but yes. I just don’t like how he’s building himself up to the fanbase with all his pandering especially because I think he has every intention of leaving, and I think he knows that now. My point is not he shouldn’t, my point isn’t he’s a bad guy.

That means he'd have given us 8 years of his what 15 year career? If we aren't a contender at that point I'd expect him to want out... nothing personal. If he gives us the Paul George head's up instead of the Gordon Hayward pump fake then I have no problem with it. Wouldn't mean he's fake or phony... he never said he'd stay here forever.

There is no doubt in my mind that he is all in right now and isn't planning on leaving... the situation can change, so I will enjoy every minute of his time with us. If he becomes a lifer I'm here for it. I don't think players will stay with one team their whole careers anymore... its a different time.
 
He's leaving us for the Mets. He always said baseball was his first love.

So what should he do? By every account I have ever heard or read, he is a great person. So do you want him to pretend he’s a piece of **** to put your mind at ease?

Just trying not to be blissfully blind. Being buddy buddy with the Knicks assistant GM on social media isn’t exactly something to just ignore, especially given the other hints at hand.

He is probably just being fake buddy buddy to the Knicks GM so we don't need to worry about it.

For the love of God man let it go. Between the pandering comments and trying to convince everyone that Donovan is leaving the second he gets a chance your posts have been unbearable these past few days. He's playing for team USA and is making friends with some of the other players, that doesn't mean he's going to leave to form a superteam and just because he's talking to Allan Houston and posting on his Instagram doesn't mean he's headed to New York as soon as he's a free agent. Will Allan Houston even still be in the Knicks front office in 6 years? Will the Knicks even have a max slot open in 6 years when Donovan's a free agent? Maybe they'll sign a couple of superstars before then. It's impossible to predict what Mitchell will do 6 years down the road because SO MUCH will happen between now and then. We have one of the most talented young players in the league who also happens to be a really good dude locked up for the next few years along with one of the best centers in the league, one of the best coaches and the front office did a phenomenal job this summer building a very talented roster around them. Most people think this is going to be the best Jazz team we've had in 20 years, just enjoy it and stop bashing Donovan.

The assistant coach is Alan Houston. He’s a former NBA player. For the Knicks. Part of the brotherhood. Don probably grew up as a fan. For shame, amiright?

If he was really in he'd only talk with Utah Jazz legends and he'd openly mock and disavow any potential allegiances with other franchises.
 
Think how good Allan Houston would have looked to replace a retiring Hornacek.
 
Holy ****, @oneye is shaking in his boots about something that MIGHT happen in half a decade because Donovan is a fan of the best player on his hometown team?

Someone ban me from this website.

He's at summer league every year... I'd give him a 10 day right now and see if he still got it... looks like he hasn't aged a day.
 
Hot take... DM and Rudy will not play their entire careers in Utah. At some point one or both leave... It may be that we are in a different place as a franchise or that they want something different.

Additional hot take... both will stay long enough for this core to have every chance at a championship.

As I said, so was Magic Johnson, Philly wasn’t about to let Ben Simmons around him though while he was a GM were they.

Simple. Rudy is just as important to the franchise, and he isn’t constantly over-pandering.

First off yes, with team USA that’s exactly what happens lol. He will be a Knick and it’s pretty obvious the Knicks already want him. They attempted to trade for him less than a year ago. The very dude in that picture certainly was a catalyst for that trade attempt and they’ll make sure when the time comes they can get him. No I don’t love Donovan being lovey dovey to the Knicks FO anymore than Philly loved the idea of Simmons with GM Magic Johnson no matter how far off FA is. You want your star as long as you can have them for the success of the franchise and team. Stars like Donovan aren’t easy to get, so no, I’m not a fan of it.
