Donovan refuses to say whether or not he wants to be in Utah moving forward

He has a trade kicker clause. So if he doesn’t agree to waive it, ie they don’t send him where he wants, they get to pay him a % of his salary for the privilege of his trade demand. Moronic BS giving this pile of **** whatever he wanted.

So are we like the dumbest franchise in the history of the NBA?

I actually agree... I just think if that is the honest answer that his intentions are somewhat known. Normally you lie and move on. If he wanted to squash it he could have more emphatically.

During the interview, he came across to me as emotionally exhausted in somewhat in a state of mourning. I don't think he knew what he wanted then.

Note to self: Never think that MT Steve will see the extension of a metaphor to more closely approximate the situation.

Mitchell cares about how he's perceived. If he had zero intention of demanding a trade, he would have quashed those rumors the instant they came up months ago. This isn't even the first time he's dodged a question about those rumors.

I'm not arguing with any of that.

At last night's press conference, Mitchell's affect was pretty clear. He was exhausted, disappointed, and somewhat grieving the loss of a chance to move on (if you like, the loss of a chance to improve on his legacy). That's why he said he might have a reaction in a week or so. Last night he wasn't thinking about it at all.

If you can look at the affect in that interview and think to yourself '“entitled” “childish” and “self deluded”', there's something really wrong with you. Maybe at other times, not last night.

I mean the whole point of the argument here is whether or not Mitchell is considering a trade request. If you're not arguing with any of that then what are you arguing? That he is considering a trade request but last night's interview isn't evidence of that?

If that's the case, who cares if last night's interview was evidence of it or not if ultimately you agree he's still considering a trade request?

You're right, with all the noise around the league about it, it definitely isn't something he's thought/thinking about. Dave McMenamin just barley on ESPN700 when asked about the Jazz trading Rudy, he said, he has heard that Donovan is probably going to be asking out once free agency gets here.

I can see that too... just feels like an auto response... like I'm focused on this team and winning here would have been better... but maybe that's what his "I just want to win" was about.

I think he will be honest with Jazz management... they just have to accept it if it isn't the answer they want.
