Basically, Donovan's personality is some combination of LeBron and Durant, but without the talent.

Looks like Donovan is pulling some strings in Cleveland to build the team around him and Mobley.

Wait… why would he leave if Don stays? Do they not get along? Is this Don and Rudy 2.0?

Or Gordon Hayward where he leads everyone on and then bails out after they make plans around him... that's what I am rooting for.

If they want to make plans around him, they probably want to trade for Rudy.

JB tried to reel in the Donovan hero ball. That's the price you pay.

No, Dan Gilbert is putting this on his credit card and he will be paying the price at some later date. With interest.

that works for me

Letting Don make what he want. Recipe for disaster. Great job from FO !

Fwiw JB is supposedly a pretty bad xs and os coach. I could see how that would frustrate Donovan after having Quin.

So the grass is perhaps patchy and sun-burnt on the other side then?

I dont think Donovan ever had an issue with Quin...

That dude so completely ****ed up his career is almost sad.





Almost.

Donovan Mitchell's rookie year was some of the most fun I've ever had watching basketball. Just took the world by storm. Then apparently started getting high on his own supply. Sad.

Glad they captured Royce’s showing off his perimeter chops at 0:39.

Any chance Ben Simmons beating out Mitchell for rookie of the year played into who Michell became?

Not to engage in pop psychology here, but Mitchell strikes me as a type of a person I'm sure we've all met at some point in our lives. Super nice and super positive when things are going well, but cannot handle thing not going well. Blames others, gets negative and surly. You know what I mean, and I'm sure you all know the type.

Whatever happened to the trainer Don had fired here. Did he land on his feet?

Oh hell yes. And with those dudes generally there is no harm in everyday type situations but be careful building a franchise around them. DM always ALWAYS crashing other players' post game interviews is something I'll always remember. Anecdotal, I know, but it falls in line imo with an incessant, insufferable need to get all of the attention all of the time. Not a huge deal per se, and I'd root for DM if he had stayed in Utah, but for me he is the type player I enjoy watching but also need to somewhat endure. I like rooting for players I can feel good about rooting for. Caveat that we often never know who our heroes really are, obviously.

Steps off soapbox.

I just hope DM made them fire JB only to then leave them at the altar thus making our picks juicy.
