Largely agree about the course of events - we probably trade Rudy for win now pieces(we lose value on that choice), we are borderline playoff-team... we either make the play in tournament or 7-8th seed. One and out. Mitchell stages some drama to ask for a trade through Woj. We lose value on that one too.Most likely scenario in my mind is Rudy is Traded, we make the 8th spot With Don taking the reigns of the team. We bow out in the first round. Don asks for a trade, we are left holding the bag with nothing as usual. Utah can't keep great players anymore. It's gonna be a 10 year period of time before we start to show signs of life again.
In essence, my feeling is that the best course of action is to blow it all up NOW! But this is not going to happen like @KqWIN has explained in previous posts, because the only way it happens is if Mitchell demands a trade NOW.
