Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

He's okay, but he's not a centerpiece for Mitchell.
At least you folks are putting the fan in fanatic.
If we are dealing in absolutes then no one can cheer for the Jazz to keep Mitchell. It’s clear we took our shot and missed. We are a treadmill team at this point and are several players away from competing for a championship. If you don’t support blowing it up, get assets and rebuild then you aren’t a Jazz fan… do you get how that sounds?
We all get to be fans the way we want to be fans. I don’t have to think and act like you to get that badge of honor.
Joe Tsai (Brooklyn Nets owner) liked and then unliked a tweet that said:
"Ainge trying to create more leverage!
The man just got essentially 5 firsts for Gobert. I don’t even want to know his asking price for Mitchell"
"
If Mitchell is the key to completing a trade for KD, you can be assured that Ainge is going to extract as much value as he can.
It’s not a win/win at all. If the Wolves do good we get ****** picks. Weird as **** lmao.
Ainge actually wanted to draft him in Boston.
The way I see, it I can either choose to be happy with both potential outcomes, or I can choose to be happy with one and miserable with the other under the silly, misguided, ego-driven guise of being a "real fan".
I choose option 1.
Whatever floats your boat but if you actively root for the Wolves to do better than the Jazz you are a weirdo and not a Jazz fan.
Only a fool thinks it is a win win. Anyone with common sense knows that the better the wolves do the worse it is for the jazz. It isn't even debatable. The wolves do bad the jazz get a better pick. The wolves do well the jazz get a worse pick. How exactly is it somehow a win win for the jazz if the wolves do well?

Man I'm gonna have fun watching Elizah Huge angrily gatekeep all season whenever people express that they are happy for Gobert.
Gobert can be an MVP candidate for all I care. I just hope Minnesota has the worst record in the league.

Gobert was my favorite player on the jazz, but I won’t be rooting for his team to do well. Rudy Gobert is no longer on the jazz, so I just don’t care anymore if he does well
That's cool.
Some people cheer for clothes, and some people cheer for humans.

I mean the 2023 pick is not likely to be great so you are almost expecting it to be the 20s… so if it isn’t then awesome… if Rudy has a good year I’m cool with all that too… the picks later are the ones that will be the most juicy if Rudy slows down or if one of their guys gets hurt or if the fit gets too hard to make it work long term.
Life isn’t black and white.
This idea of absolute fandom is humorous. If you aren’t all in then you aren’t a real fan.
What you want to happen has no bearing on what does happen. I'll enjoy watching Gobert, and root for his success. I'll do the same for Mitchell. The Wolves may or may not be successful, but how I feel about it has nothing to do with it.
Realistically, they'll probably be very good the first couple of years and start to slide a little as Rudy ages.

You do realize if you "hope" Minnesota has the best or worst record, it has absolutely no impact on the outcome? You aren't as important as you'd like to think you are.
