Eventually, but I also have faith we could build something here where he is happy for a long while.
My theory for a while is that Don hasn't been happy here and not because it isn't NY or Miami. Outside of LeBron James led teams, contenders need incredible chemistry, continuity, brotherhood, etc. Our guys have just been going to work.

We'll see, our lack of draft picks and young talent have made it tough to project what the team will be over the next few seasons. And we really don't have a ton of assets to trade so it's difficult to see how we can improve significantly.

The two trades that I could see us making that would significantly upgrade the team...
Trade 1 - Jazz receive: KCP, Kuzma | Wizards receive: Conley, NAW, Royce
Trade 2 - Jazz receive: Tobias Harris | 76ers receive: Bojan, Gay, Hernagomez
Don - KCP - Kuzma - Harris - Gobert
Team guts its depth but gets way bigger, better on the glass, and better defensively.

The Jazz should not allow this IMO. You cannot just accept to cut off 90% of available bidders because Mitchell wants something. Once you know he's out(and I think we already know he's out), you have no allegiance or responsibility to him. Open it up to everyone now and get the best offer. And if it happens to be from the Knicks or Miami, so be it... I just don't see how they(especially Miami) can compete with the likes of NOP or OKC when talking about available assets. Hell when you know how horrible of a ******** the Kings have been, I'd even prefer their potential packages than anything Miami can offer.
Agreed, about the injuries possibility - that's another way his value drops.
If you replace Gobert (low usage rate player) with one or more other people who shoot from outside or create their own shot then those touches have to come from somewhere.
Or if the next coach gives Don the ball say at the rate of Steph then you would likely see his numbers drop at least a little.
The entire league runs the pick and roll, and primarily through the center position given that is the defender least likely able to keep up with the opposing team’s ball handler. Rudy also happens to be one of the best screeners in the league (or he gets away with more fouls doing it if you are a fan of an opposing team).
The only thing Rudy can’t do is pick and pop in that scenario. Unless you think that Jazz will be moving to iso ball with the center in the corner, and Don being just as successful without the screen.

I honestly think Mitchell at the point position is one thing happening next season that everyone can take to the bank. Just not sure what trades they will do to make this happen.

Juancho is better than Crowder and Clarkson better than Shamet.
