Pretty darn clear what’s happening here.
that would be quite the coup, but sacto would never do it. i have to think they love davion.The other Mitchell, their newest draft pick, and a couple of picks would be a coup for us.
No need for the name calling though.
I've got this feeling zebras won't let him get away with any little $hit now he's in a (horrible) Jazz uni.... lets see...<...>
Beverley is an improvement on Royce.
Really he needs to be traded so he can chase the ring. We will not be competitive at that level for at least 3 seasons, more likely 5, and that is even with good draft picks and maybe some great development of young guys. DM is clearly a strong #2, but cannot carry a team to victory, so he needs to find the Batman to his Robin. We might get that in the draft with all of our draft assets, but odds are anyone like that won't contribute at that level for 2-3 seasons anyway, so the timeline for Mitchell in Utah is bad. Will be 4-5 seasons before we are strongly competitive again. So for Mitchell's own good, and our more rapid turn-around, the best thing we can do is to trade him for the most assets we can get.To Mitchell's point he wants to win a championship and thus far this team has taken a major step backwards as far as the next season or two. This current roster might squeeze into the playoffs but is more than likely another first round exit.
This season and the next to retool then Don is on his last year of his contract. Unless we do something drastic Dons final 3 years will be rebuilding. Rumor has it he was going to ask to be traded if we have another first round exit and we did. One could speculate he doesn't care to have another, and another...if that.
If we stick with Don, the front office's goal should be to build a playoff contender this year. A team that just gets there. Next summer, we gotta add a max free agent type guy through either a trade or a signing. We add another "star" type guy.To Mitchell's point he wants to win a championship and thus far this team has taken a major step backwards as far as the next season or two.

Just because that window closed doesn’t mean you can’t try to open up a new one. Make a few moves to be semi-competitive this year, while still creating enough cap space to chase a FA next year AND gather assets to go after a disgruntled star. Basically what the Clippers did a few years ago. Give yourself a big 3 and hope the change in leadership puts you into contending status.I guess with this new information, the door saying DM is in charge has been closed. I think these are legitimate questions. I think Rudy was right when he said he got traded because the Jazz feel the window to win a championship was closed in Utah so they did what is best for the franchise. Rudy seems fine with it He has better chance in Minnesota than Utah. I wouldn't blame DM for wanting out if there is a full tank going on. If the franchise can do what is best for them why cannot the player. Personally, if the Jazz front office really believes the window is closed then they should trade DM and get as much value back to start the rebuild.
Would much rather play the lottery odds next year than play the odds any meaningful free agent is going to choose Utah.Just because that window closed doesn’t mean you can’t try to open up a new one.

So essentially Davion/2 1sts since Barnes is expiringDavion, Barnes and two unprotected 1sts from the Kings. Is that too much? Too little? Would Barnes help us win too much?
