David Locke/Donovan Mitchell Beef?

Did Locke go to BYU? If not he better gussy up that resume.

No, pretty sure Locke has no Mormon affiliations.

Nope. Occidental College in LA. He was David Lockheim at the time.

There may be something here... Locke did go off on "no passing" on twitter last night... going in on it on his pod again. That would be directed at a couple guys... Donovan first.

IDK... worth watching a bit.

The only one I saw was this one didn't say Mitchell by name, I thought there was one that mentinoed Mitchell and Conley but this is the only one I'm finding now.

Yep. How many times are we going to pass before we shoot?

FOUR...uh, I mean 1 and done!

Maybe reading too much into this, but don't be surprised if Locke is fired after this year given Mitchell's power.

It wouldn't be the first time a player has gotten Locke fired. Malone got him fired in 98.

I wouldn't be mad if he were pushed out of SLC. He treats other utah media personalities like $hit and thinks he's some basketball genius.

Which other personalities are you referring to and in what way?

Besides that Donovan is a Jazz player, I see little for a guy like Locke to be a fan. I think Locke has been straddling his natural aversion to a player like Donovan and his role as a mostly-cheerleader, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that tension boils over somewhere or with someone.

Also, Donovan has a well-documented history of passive-aggressively liking tweets that hate on him, FWIW.

Wow, does anyone here pay attention to Locke or listen to his podcast? He has nothing but love for Donovan. I think the post here is reading something into nothing. I also think that David Locke is a bigger part of the broadcast team than people realize. The Locked on Podcast network is huge. It would take a lot to get him fired. Donovan could swing his weight to do that sure, but I have not sensed anything close to that being his MO. He's not Durant or LeBron.

1. Concrete examples of treating people like ****? Or that he thinks he’s some basketball genius?
2. He’s more knowledgeable than anyone here and most people in basketball media.

I stand by my position that Locke haters reveal more about themselves than they do about him.

DJ and PK, anytime he joins the afternoon shows. I've heard him be very demeaning toward ron boone on the radio many times.
