Well you may be a few weeks early in the cycle with that observation. I thing the Don is chafing a bit at keeping things with the Jazz FO on the down low and won't play quite so nicely this time.
I think ego plays a large role at this point. He wants a larger market with more sparkle than SLC/CLE.
I'm sure he hates DA for shuffling him off to the Cavs rather than being able to force his way to NYC.
Oh Donny you kidder you.
We've seen you play this card before

I'm certain the Jazz brain trust has calculated the fan bases level of elasticity much like an insurance Actuary as high $$$ are at stake.
"Hmmm, we got away with the Doke pick and merch sales remained constant" I can envision being proclaimed in the boardroom.
Post-draft Kalipari mentioned that there were "a few" teams that he refused to work out for because "he wasn't going there".
Utah was certainly among them.
Booker
Marcus Smart
Chris Paul
Reggie Jackson
Are a few certainties that spring to mind, though Jackson refused to work out with everyone...
Hey at least you didn't disagree with my point or call me racist for making it. So there's that.
As to Utah being a racist backwater, move yourself to Oakland and enjoy. We have it good here.
