I’m 100% certain that the end of the honeymoon period with Donovan started for non basketball reasons- when he became vocal about racial injustice as well as pushing for critical race theory to be taught in Utah schools. When all of that was happening, I remember reading tweet after tweet from...

I’m sure I’ll probably get cooked for this, but if Utah ultimately decides to hang on to Mitchell and retool around him, I just don’t see there being this massive drop off that both fans and media are so certain of. If keeping Mitchell ends up being the move, I think Ayton ends up in Utah and...

Well, we know that the Jazz were interested in OG and Gary Trent Jr. before sending Gobert to Minny but wouldn’t it be kinda odd to acquire those guys in a Mitchell trade? Those guys might be good enough to ruin a tank.

Honestly, I think Donovan still can be. Half the people in Utah that have soured on Don have done so due to his outspoken politics and the other half took Rudy’s side in the power struggle. I’m not saying Don has done everything right, but I think he’s still the guy we were hoping he could be...

I hope this rumor ends up being true. When the offseason began, I was firmly in favor of trading them both, but the Gobert trade changed everything in my eyes. I couldn’t have imagined the Jazz getting that kind of haul for Rudy and now it feels like we have plenty of assets to go forward hoping...

We don’t even know if Simmons is mentally well enough to step back on the court. We’d absolutely be getting back some good assets, but we’re also gonna be stuck with Ben and his contract.

There’s not a scenario that exists where we should be willing to bail out Brooklyn and jump on the Simmons grenade.

Well isn’t their best case scenario Donovan?

I think they might if it means the Suns land Durant. They already want Ayton gone, and if their last option in acquiring Durant comes down to trading Bridges, I don’t think they’re gonna say no.

It seems like with most of these scenarios, other teams absolutely need the Jazz to step in as a 3rd team to get things done. If we know this, and the media knows this, you can bet your *** Ainge knows this x’s 10. The more this drags on, the more I hope we end up keeping Donovan and trying to...

Hopefully, Donovan has a lick of sense in him and he’s paying attention to what Kevin Durant is currently going through. It’s pretty easy to pout your way into a much worse situation. Even if Donovan does have an eye towards an exit, hopefully he’s also looking at how well the Jazz have set up...

I think there’s a lot of fans in here that are taking for granted how unpleasant a ground up rebuild really is. As a fan, it’s so hard to stay engaged for the full 82 games of multiple 20 win seasons. Not only that, get ready to spend our offseasons praying that we draft players that are at...

This! The more I dwell on it, the more I want Donovan to stay, but if he’s putting a gun to our head privately and asking for a trade, the only reason Danny should field calls from Phoenix or Brooklyn is to force the Knicks to panic and give us the farm. They obviously have the best draft...

We better not be the team that helps Brooklyn get out of the Ben Simmons fiasco. It’s so frustrating to see these large market teams box themselves into a corner time and time again while trying to build a super team only to be thrown a lifeline when it fails.

It’s a long shot, but maybe Utah thinks they can use the war chest acquired in the Rudy deal to entice Portland into a full rebuild. It’s probably not likely at all because to make that type of deal worthwhile for Utah, they still have to be able to add another star in the front court...

This is very interesting and would fit the type of monster move Ryan Smith wants to pull off. Does a big 3 of Mitchell, Dame, and Ayton put us near the top in the west? I worry that’s still too small of a backcourt.

All this bickering on what’s gonna or should happen next when Ryan Smith has been telegraphing what he’s gonna do in a situation like this since he purchased the team. If you read the tea leaves, Ryan has a vision for the Jazz that’s along the lines of: We don’t rebuild, we reload. I think...

Knowing Ryan Smith’s attitude, we’re sitting here arguing on the best way to tank while him and Ainge are sitting in Durrant’s living room trying to convince him how fun the alpine slides are.

This is where I’m at. I think as Jazz fans, we’re a little too close to the situation to see it clearly enough and we all have a little Donovan fatigue. In reality, he might be worth building around from here on out. The dude is a 25 year old guard who can drop 35+ in big playoff moments...

There’s already reports that the Jazz are making a run at Ayton in a sign and trade.
