When things fall apart the star wants out OR they have to reshape the roster. Mitchell will probably force a trade at some point if they get bounced this year.
Gobert is more rare and important.

Mitchell is awesome- dont get me wrong--- but everything there starts with Gobert.

Meh...I don't buy it.

Sounds a bit overblown imho.

I guess we'll know more in the next few weeks.

That said...every team goes through bumps in the road and those certain types of stages of tension and disagreements.
What separates it all, is how they respond, adjust, and eventually get on the same page to each their goal as a united team.

This is the 2nd report of this in the last week or 2 then the whole Gobert/ Mitchell thing 2 yrs ago as well.

I get that they're frustrated...but it's part of the grind that comes with the territory of a long season, injuries etc.
Until either of them demands a trade then it's just a story designed to light a fire under them...and like I said, we'll see how they respond going forward...or if it becomes more of a distraction where it affects their play negatively.

Right now I don't see those "red flags" to be overly concerned one way or the other.

I wonder if Morey kicked the tires on Donovan Mitchell before going for Harden? I think he’s a candidate to want to force his way out. It’s the thing now. Kawhi, AD, Harden, Simmons, Harden. Expectations Dame and Beal would.

Garland out again tonight. Hope it's because they don't want him playing B2B and want him tomorrow night?

There are more guys in the league that do what Mitchell does. That is true.

But the reality is that neither are good enough to be the best player on a legit championship contender. Pair them together with well fitting pieces and you get what Utah has been.

Good luck building a team better than what they have had with Gobert as the best player.

I’m sure COVID has things shut down at the moment but trust me Toronto is a very, very, fun town :)
I know in 2020 when it was really raging Houston had their strippers outside the club, wearing masks, and you would drive up to watch them LOL

They had to keep their nipples and other stuff covered because they were outside. But again...ladies gyrating around in their underwear wearing MASKS
