Jazz Offseason Plan

More Donovan offseason stuff, no need for a thread on it, I’m not sure if Monson is just going off the Windhorst report or if he’s also heard similar things, but here’s the article he wrote today.

Gordon Monson: Don’t go, Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz can win. Utah is not a state of hate.

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell continues to face vitriol from the far-right as he speaks out in favor of social justice and critical race theory in schools.

U crazy if you wouldn’t trade JC for Marcus Smart

Smart is like top 3 of who I would want to pair with Mitchell in the backcourt, but I would be loathe to give up JC for him. Maybe I stan him too hard, but I think he's probably the third most important guy under contract right now. Bogie, I would do without hesitation.

I wouldn’t rank JC that high, for sure. But I definitely appreciate his importance. In the end, gotta give to receive... and Smart gives us something we need worse that what JC provides.

In the JC-for-Smart scenario, I shift the majority of Bogie’s minutes to be against opposing benches. He’d be the new “microwave.”

One thing is for absolute certain no doubt at all about it:

There is no reason to go into next season with Rudy, Favors AND Doke. What is the need of spending close to $50 million on bigs who can't play small ball or stretch the floor?

Yep, Favors needs to be dumped. If we’re concerned about having a backup 5 due to Udoka’s health, see if we can get Udoh. If not, there will be someone available on the cheap. Hernangomez is intriguing. Either way, we’d save fairly significant money and lose very little on the court.

Monson writing this is dumb IMO. It’s not the time and only helps the seed in Don’s mind grow more IMO.

Monson wrote another beauty of a column in the Trib today. I guess the gist of it is Quin is God, don't you dare criticize him, DL is scum. the end of the bench is garbage and Quin needs more talent at the end of the bench. If I were guys sitting on the bench other than JC, I would be really angry at the column. Monson did an excellent job of character assissinating DL and everyone on the Jazz except the first six players. Why not ask Quin if he made any effort to improve the roster like sign Korver, or RHJ when he had the chance and if things were so bad why didn't he play the end of the bench guys so he could offer proof as to why they were bad instead of just trust me.

To me it goes Don-Rudy-JC-Bogie-Royce or Joe. Again, just who is under contract.

I think Bogie is way too hot or cold to be the spark off the bench. Plus he can't create. But I think it's just personal preference. JC would have higher trade value tho.

I thought the article was a bit much, I’m just not so sure the seed isn’t already growing. It’s hard to ignore the fact several people have kind of mentioned Donovan’s want to be here isn’t really there anymore. I’m not saying that’s 100% true, but it’s been said by a few people and you gotta pay a little attention to smoke.

This. Terrible hatchet job by monson. Normally he's better than that.
 
The first two sentences of that article is complete trash.

There are whispers that Donovan Mitchell doesn’t want to play for the Jazz in Utah anymore. He wants to go somewhere else.

This is flat out not true and there has not been one single report of this. Terrible reporting and terrible writing. His source is probably @oneye.

I can't stand Monson. he's a bad writer and an even worse radio host. I don't put any stock in anything he says.
